Rwanda

People in Rwanda are living longer than their colleagues from other East African nations. Recovering from a devastating civil war, Rwandans have adopted healthy lifestyles and from a life expectancy of just 28 in the mid-1990s, people can now live as long as 68.

According to the WHO data, women live more than men, with male life expectancy being 66.1 and female being 69.9.
