raw data forms. Statistical Analysis Used: Data on each country was categorized according to
objectives and comparisons took place using comparative tables. Finally, descriptive‑theoretical
analysis of the findings was performed. Results: National Security Agency and National
Burn Repository in America, National Institute of Health and the Ministry of Health in England
