This freely downloadable PDF booklet contains the World Health Organization's annual compilation of health-related data for its 194 member countries. The report focuses on nine indicators: life expectancy and mortality, cause-specific mortality and morbidity, selected infectious diseases, health service coverage, risk factors, health systems, health expenditure, health inequities, and demographic and socioeconomic statistics. Readers may like to start with the Introduction, which provides an overview of the report. Part I covers the Health-related Millennium Development Goals, and Part II outlines the Global health indicators. Along the way, charts and tables help make the complex information digestible and relatively easy to read.
