Health indicators.

From the World Health Report for the period 20052015, the Core Health Indicators have been obtained for 33 countries and multidimensional scaling analysis have been performed by using related variables. Stress value was found 0.022 for 2 dimensional configuration. As a result of multidimensional scaling analysis it has been seen that, countries have been formed three groups in two dimensional space, according to related variables. Turkey showed clear difference from the other candidate countries such as Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially with regard to health indicators related to the mortality rates.}, number={2}
