For those who are keen to work in the healthcare sector, Lenstore has researched the average salaries per country for a number of healthcare roles. 

From doctors to midwifes to radiologists, this list shares how much you can expect to earn in each role.  

When comparing all of the countries in the study, the United States ranked as the overall best country to work in healthcare for the highest salaries. Most noticeable salaries are those associated with optometry, dentistry and radiology. 

The US has an average salary of £95,768 for an optometrist, £153,476 for a doctor and £308,573 for a radiologist.
