The correct answer is B) Medical advances improved the standard of living for most people in developed nations, but only for few people in developing nations.
The statement that best describes the impact of medical advances on global standards of living is "Medical advances improved the standard of living for most people in developed nations, but only for few people in developing nations."
Scientific advances represent a great opportunity to increase the quality of life of humans. The problem is that they cost a lot of money and just the fortunate ones in the developed countries who have money and health insurance, can pay for these innovations.
Unfortunately, in developing and poor countries, this is not the case. These medical technology and health advancements are so expensive and cannot be afforded by most people. They have to go to public hospitals to receive medical help or to get major surgeries.
We have the examples of millions of people in Africa, India, Central Amércica, or Latin America, who just have access to public health services.
