10 Nations in Africa Have the Highest Life Expectancy Rates.
The story of life is determined by its uncertainty. No one
can fully predict how long they will live, and while the end point is
unavoidable, the exact moment is still a complete mystery.
The idea of life expectancy, a potent metric that provides a
window into a population's general health and well-being, is at the centre of
this mysterious story.
It measures the typical number of years a person born in a
certain place may anticipate to live under current conditions, acting as a
compass to lead us across the waves of existence. Importantly, even though they
are unique to some nations, increases in life expectancy are an important
indicator of development.
Take Africa for example, the life expectancy has increased
on average by 10 years per in the past two decades, according to the United
Nations. The sharp rise during the period is a testament to the region’s drive
for improved health and well-being of the population. In its World Population
Prospect for 2022, the intergovernmental organisation revealed a new-born is
expected to live over 77 years in Algeria. Cabo Verde, Tunisia, and Mauritius
followed, with a life expectancy of 76 years. Here are the 10 African countries
with the highest life expectancy according to the United Nations:
Rank Country Life expectancy
1 Algeria 77 years
2 Cape Verde 76 years
3 Tunisia 76 years
4 Morocco 75 years
5 Mauritius 75 years
6 Seychelles 75 years
7 Libya 73 years
8 Western Sahara 71 years
9 Egypt 70 years
10 Senegal 69 years
