Top 20 countries with the most medical research. The U.S. leads by a landslide

Global map of clinical trials. The U.S. has more than Europe, South America, Africa, Australia, and Canada combined.
Global map of Nobel prize winners in Physiology or Medicine. Again, the U.S. leads by a substantial margin.
