World's Smallest Country News

Vatican City, the world’s smallest country, has no hospitals — and surprisingly, no child has been born there in nearly 100 years. With a tiny population made up mostly of priests and religious officials, and top hospitals nearby in Rome, the need for a hospital or maternity care has never existed.  

Imagine a country where no child has been born in nearly a century and no hospitals exist! Despite being a recognized nation, it has never recorded a single birth since its formation in 1929. With no medical facilities, residents must travel to a neighboring city for healthcare. Despite its small size—smaller than a golf course—it holds immense global significance.
