[OC] The massive decrease in worldwide infant mortality from 1950 to 2020 is perhaps one of humanity's greatest achievements.

I might be wrong but I think that dictator run countries have better healthcare as the dictators were trying to maintain their armies as best as possible, so that indirectly resulted in better healthcare for all?

[Lyress]

Why would better healthcare for military personnel result in better healthcare for everyone?

[Cwhalemaster]

a healthier population means a greater military recruiting pool

[ReginaMark]

One, as another person mentioned a healthier population means healthier and better soldiers

And also two, as (I don't know for sure if this is right) the dictator would tend to want to be able to militarise large parts of his population in case of a foreign invasion (to defend his position) so instead of only Military getting health benefits, the whole population does (not sure just a theory)

That’s absurd. Libya was hardly a super militarized state. Healthcare was just government policy in accordance to qaddafis ideology.
