Global Health Observatory (GHO)

The Global Health Observatory, Explore a world of health data

The GHO data repository is WHO's gateway to health-related statistics for its 194 Member States. It provides access to over 1000 indicators on priority health topics including mortality and burden of diseases, violence and injuries, the MDGs and health systems among others.
The datasets represent the best estimates of WHO using methodologies for specific indicators that aim for comparability across countries and time. Updates are periodic based on new data availability or changes in methodology. Therefore, they are not always the same as official national estimates. Whenever possible, WHO will provide Member States the opportunity to review and comment on data and estimates as part of country consultations. The data goes as far back as 1960s for some indicators and countries.
