Hi and welcome back to my channel. Today we're going to be going through the top 10 countries that pay doctors the most and you're going to be wrong in thinking if the US, Canada or the United Kingdom are in the top spot. Some of these countries might come as a surprise, so let's get into it. So just for convenience sake, we're going to be putting them all as US dollars just to make it as an easy comparison between the different countries. So at the number 10 spot, we have Australia and New Zealand. They are jointly very similar and doctors on average have a take home of 138 US dollars. And the healthcare system is there as a mix of private and public funding. So not a bad place to go if you're going to be a doctor thinking about immigrating. Number 9 Israel. Surprising to some of you, it actually has quite an advanced healthcare system and it does that simply because it wants to attract the best minds from around the world. As a result of that, they're willing to pay the big money for that to retain those members of staff. You'll find that family doctors there earn somewhere around 72,000 US dollars, whereas hospital consultants will earn around 147,000 US dollars. Number 8 Germany. Obviously it's one of the European economic powerhouses, so no wonder why they're going to be paying their doctors more than most other countries. It's only slightly more than Israel offering hospital specialists around 149,000 US dollars. It is funded by a complex system which is a multi-payer healthcare system. Number 7 we have the Netherlands. And there's quite a significant increase compared to the pay that was received in Germany. An average general practitioner will receive around 112,000 US dollars, whereas a hospital specialist will receive a potential take home of around 170,000 US dollars. And there's something called a Euro Health Consumer Index and that looks at different healthcare systems in around Europe and actually it puts the Netherlands as a number one. So not only will you get a good pay package, but you'll also be working in one of the best healthcare systems around the world, but the number one within Europe. So your professional standards will be at a very high level. Number 6 we come to my mother country, the United Kingdom. We have the amazing NHS that was formed in 1948, which allows everyone free access to healthcare from the point of entry. Then this is what makes this service so amazing. And it genuinely is one of the best healthcare systems around the globe. And I'm not just saying that because I was born and raised here, but I'm saying that because I work within the system. And I've had the chance to compare to other systems around the world. And it genuinely is one of the best healthcare systems that anyone will ever experience. And also the diversity, the different multitude and different peoples that you will have within the system make it a truly diverse system to work for. General practitioners here won't earn as much as some of the other countries that we have discussed, but roughly they are around 85,000 US dollars, whereas hospital specialists are looking at around 174,000 US dollars. At number 5 we have the Republic of Ireland, which boasts a public government funded healthcare system and also a growing private sector. And hospital specialists here will find that they themselves earn around 186,000 US dollars. Number 4 we have Iceland, a very beautiful country that also has a very high quality government funded healthcare system. Salaries in other sectors in other different jobs are amongst the highest in the world, so it's no surprise that doctors here are going to be earning a lot more than most of the countries. Doctors here will find themselves earning 182,000 US dollars if you're a general practitioner and if you're a hospital specialist, you can expect around 200,000 US dollars. Number 3 we have Switzerland, another amazing country with a very stable economy as well as salaries which are notably amongst the highest around the world. But here you will definitely need to know another language such as French, German or Italian if you want to make the move successful. General practitioners will find themselves on a salary of 237,000 US dollars, whereas hospital specialists will find themselves on an average of 258,000 US dollars. Number 2 we have the United States of America. Some of the leading hospitals around the world are based in the United States. Some of the most pioneering and advances in technology also come from the United States of America. Family physicians as they're known over their general practitioners to us will expect to earn an income of around 208,000 US dollars, whereas hospital specialists can earn anywhere upward of 300 to 350,000 US dollars. And because of the private nature of the system, they can find themselves earning far and excess of their. Number 1 we have Luxembourg. The wealth from this country is actually derived from its financial sector. Doctors here will earn on an average of over 357,000 US dollars. It has a very small population of just over half a million people and hence why there is very stiff competition for jobs here. They won't be easy to come. So I hope you like that, I hope you enjoyed that. I think some of those countries would have been a bit of a surprise to yourselves.
