Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO) collects and summarizes a wide range of quantitative data from a variety of health domains through country ofces, regional ofces and headquarter departments. These data are used internally by WHO for estimation, advocacy, policy development and evaluation. They are also widely disseminated in formal publications and through more informal mechanisms, both in electronic and printed format. This publication focuses on a basic set of health indicators that were selected on the basis of current availability and quality of data and include the majority of health indicators that have been selected for monitoring progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The set of indicators is not intended to capture all relevant aspects of health but to provide a snap-shot of the current health situation in countries. Importantly, the indicators in this set are not xed - some will, over the years be added or gain in importance while others may become less relevant. Several key indicators, including some health MDG indicators, are not included in this rst edition of World Health Statistics, primarily because of data quality and comparability issues. For some such as malaria-specic mortality and access to drugs measurement and estimation methodologies are still being developed and pending the results of further research. For others such as tobacco use among the adult population and HIV prevalence among pregnant women aged 15-24 years attending antenatal clinics, estimates are not yet widely available and comparable across countries. Indicators included in World Health Statistics focus on the most recent estimates post 1995 for each country. The statistics have been collated from WHO programme publications and databases, including WHO Regional Ofce publications. In the rst part of World Health Statistics, data are presented in four interrelated indicator groups on: (i) health status, including mortality and morbidity outcomes; (ii) health services coverage and behavioural and environmental risks factors (iii) health systems, and (iv) population data generated by the United Nations Statistical Division or United Nations Population Division. The grouping of the indicators is arbitrary. Several of the morbid conditions such as hypertension and obesity and health services coverage (such as lack of vaccination) can also be classied as risk factors. Many health statistics have been computed by WHO to ensure comparability, using transparent methods and a clear audit trail. Countries have subsequently been consulted by WHO programmes and regional ofces. In some cases however, in order to improve comparability, the actual statistics may differ from ofcial statistics of Member States which may use alternative rigorous methods.. As the demand for timely, accurate and consistent information on health indicators continues to increase, users need to be well oriented on what exactly these numbers measure; their strengths and weaknesses; and, the assumptions under which they should be used. The second part of World Health Statistics covers these issues, presenting a standardized description of each health indicator, denition, data source, method of estimation, disaggregation, references to literature and databases. More detailed information is available from the WHO database of health statistics, a global database based on WHOs Global Health Atlas system, launched at the same time as World Health Statistics and which includes most recent and time series estimates (1990-present) and for the former, when available, metadata describing more detailed aspects of data sources and methods of estimation as well as maps, tabulations and graphs (http://www.who.int/healthinfo).

Health Status Indicators: Mortality
expectancy at birth
Life expectancy at birth reects the overall mortality level of a population. It summarizes the mortality pattern that prevails across all age groups children and adolescents, adults and the elderly. Average number of years that a newborn is expected to live if current mortality rates continue to apply A life table presents a set of tabulations that describe the probability of dying, the death rate and the number of survivors for each age or age group. Accordingly, life expectancy at birth is an output of a life table. Vital registration, census and surveys: Age-specic mortality rates required to compute life expectancy at birth. WHO has developed a model life table based on about 1800 life tables from vital registration judged to be of good quality. For countries with vital registration, the level of completeness of recorded mortality data in the population is assessed and mortality rates are adjusted accordingly. Where vital registration data for 2003 are available, these are used directly to construct the life table. For countries where the information system provides a time series of annual life tables, parameters from the life table are projected using a weighted regression model, giving more weight to recent years. Projected values of the two life table parameters are then applied to the modied logit life table model (see references), where the most recent national data provide an age pattern, to predict the full life table for 2003. In case of inadequate sources of age-specic mortality rates, the life table is derived from estimated under-5 mortality rates and adult mortality rates that are applied to a global standard (dened as the average of all the 1800 life tables) using a modied logit model.

(http://www.who.int/whr/2005/en/index.html) WHO Mortality Database (vital registration data): (http://www3.who.int/whosis) The lack of complete and reliable mortality data, especially for low income countries and particularly on mortality among adults and the elderly, necessitates the application of modelling (based on data from other populations) to estimate life expectancy.

Rationale for use
Death registration data reported annually to WHO: Mortality data for calculation of life tables. For countries without such data, available survey and census sources of information on child and adult mortality are analysed and used to estimate life tables. WHO Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, WHO Multi-Country Survey Study (MCSS) and World Health Survey (WHS): Estimation of prevalence data. The GBD study draws on a wide range of data sources to develop internally consistent estimates for the incidence, prevalence, duration and years lived with disability for 135 major causes. The World Health Survey, carried out by WHO in more than 70 countries, uses anchoring vignettes to maximize comparability of self-report capacities for a set of core health domains. It also includes a health state valuation module for assessing the severity of reported health states. Since comparable data on health state prevalence are not available for all countries, a four-stage strategy is used: 1. Data from the WHOGBD study are used to estimate severity-adjusted prevalence by age and sex for all countries. 2. Data from the WHOMCSS and WHS are used to make independent estimates of severity-adjusted prevalence by age and sex for survey countries. 3. Prevalence for all countries is calculated based on GBD, MCSS and WHS estimates. 4. Life tables constructed by WHO are used with Sullivans method to compute HALE for countries. By age and sex.

Health systems performance assessment: debates, methods and empiricism. Geneva, World Health Organization, 2003. WHOSIS BOD WebPages: (http://www.who.int/evidence/bod) The rst challenge is the lack of reliable data on mortality and morbidity, especially from low income countries. Other issues include lack of comparability of self-reported data from health interviews and the measurement of health-state preferences for such self-reporting.

Adult mortality is an important indicator of Burden of Disease (BOD) during the most economically productive age span. Probability that a 15 year old will die before reaching his/her 60th birthday. The probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60 years (per 1 000 population) per year among a hypothetical cohort of 100 000 people that would experience the age-specic mortality rate of the reporting year.

Census: Mortality by age and sex tabulated from questions on recent deaths that occurred in the household during a given period preceding the census (usually 12 months). Census or surveys: Indirect methods provide adult mortality rates based on information on survival of parents or siblings. Empirical data from different sources are consolidated to obtain estimates of the level and trend in adult mortality by tting a curve to the observed mortality points. However, to obtain the best possible estimates, judgement needs to be made on data quality and how representative it is of the population. Recent statistics based on data availability in most countries are point estimates dated by at least 3-4 years which need to be projected forward in order to obtain estimates of adult mortality for the current year. When no adequate source of age-specic mortality exists, the life table is derived as described in the life expectancy indicator. By sex, location (urban/rural, major regions/provinces) and socio-economic characteristics (e.g. education, wealth quintile).

3 Neonatal
Health Status Indicators: Mortality
Rationale for use Denition
The neonatal period commences at birth and ends 28 completed days after birth. Live birth (see Probability of dying under age 5 years). Vital registration: The number of live births and number of neonatal deaths are used to calculate age specic rates. Surveys: Calculations are based on birth history - a series of detailed questions on each child a woman has given birth to during her lifetime. The estimates are generally presented as period rates for the ve-year periods preceding the survey. The total number of births in the survey provides the denominator. Empirical data are used. When no survey or registration data point is available, the neonatal mortality rate is estimated from the under-5 mortality using a regression adjusted for AIDS.

of poliomyelitis cases
Health Status Indicators: Morbidity
The 1988 World Health Assembly (WHA) called for the global eradication of poliomyelitis. The number of poliomyelitis cases is used to monitor progress towards this goal and to inform eradication strategies. Countries implement strategies supplementing routine immunization - e.g. national immunization days and sub-national campaigns - or more targeted mop-up activities, depending on the levels of poliomyelitis cases. Suspected polio cases (acute-accid paralysis - AFP, other paralytic diseases, and contacts with polio cases) that are conrmed by laboratory examination or are consistent with polio infection. None.
Active case nding and reporting of AFP, communicable disease surveillance systems, national and regional laboratory reports*.
* Most countries conduct active case search for cases of acute accid paralysis among children less than 15 years of age. When possible (approximately 80% of cases) a stool specimen is obtained for laboratory investigation. A regional reference laboratory veries cases with evidence of polio infection. The principle indicator for the quality of AFP/polio surveillance data is the use of the non-polio AFP rate. Studies have shown that the expected non-polio AFP rate is approximately 1 per 100 000 population under 15 years of age and an effective polio surveillance system should detect and report approximately one AFP case per 100 000 population under 15.

3 Incidence
Health Status Indicators: Morbidity
Estimates of incidence are derived from notications to WHO (coupled with assumptions about the proportion of incident cases which is notied); from disease prevalence surveys (coupled with assumptions about the duration of disease); or from surveys of the prevalence of infection in children, used to calculate the annual risk of TB infection (ARTI) (coupled with assumptions about the relationship between ARTI and the incidence of disease). Estimates of incidence, prevalence and deaths are based on a consultative and analytical process in WHO and are published annually in the global TB report. To estimate the incidence of all TB cases, rst, a reference year is selected for which a best estimate of incidence is available; this may be the year in which a survey was carried out or the year in which incidence was rst estimated using one the following methods: 1. incidence = case notications / proportion of cases detected 2. incidence = prevalence / duration of condition 3. incidence = annual risk of infection x Styblo coefcient 4. incidence = deaths / proportion of incident cases that die Then the series of case notication are used to determine how incidence changed before and after that reference year. The time series of estimated incidence rates is constructed from the notication series in two ways: if the rate of change of incidence is roughly constant through time, the exponential trends is t to the notications; if the rate of change varies (eastern Europe, central Europe and high-HIV Africa), a three-year moving average of the notication rates is used. If the notications for any country are considered to be an unreliable guide to trend (e.g. because reporting effort is known to have changed), the aggregated trend for all other countries with reliable data from the same epidemiological region is applied.

On the other hand, disease surveys measure prevalence and not incidence, although surveys may provide some valuable information about the duration of infectiousness which can be used to estimate the incidence. The tuberculin surveys are feasible where annual risk of infection is high and BCG coverage is low which may not be applicable in many countries. A reliable vital registration system is in place only in small number of countries and needs to be improved in most countries with high TB burden. Finally, the routine surveillance system is the tool for evaluating TB epidemiology and control which needs to be improved in many countries.

3 Newborns
Rationale for use Denition
Associated terms
Birth weight is the rst weight of the foetus or newborn obtained after birth. For live births, birth weight should ideally be measured within the rst hour of life before signicant postnatal weight loss has occurred and actual weight should be recorded to the degree of accuracy to which it is measured. Low birth weight is dened as less than 2500 g (up to and including 2499 g). Live birth (see Probability of dying under age 5 years). Health services statistics: Proportion of live births with low birth weight among births in health institutions. Household Surveys: Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) include questions on birth weight as well as the mothers subjective assessment of the infants size at birth (i.e. very large, larger than average, average, smaller than average, very small), for births in the last 3-5 years. Percentage of low birth weight births from routine service statistics provides the rate. Survey indicators are analysed to apply a consistent methodology for adjusting numerical birth weight data for underreporting and heaping at 2500g. To estimate the low birth weight rate, a weighting procedure is used in which the proportion low birth weight in each category of size is multiplied by the total proportion of births in the corresponding category and summed to obtain overall estimates of the low birth weight incidence. When numerical birth weight is available for more than 95% of births, no adjustment is made. For those countries where it is not possible to obtain the original data les, published estimates are adjusted using methods to suit the nature of the published gures.

Children under ve years of age 3 stunted for age (%) 3 underweight for age (%)
Health Status Indicators: Morbidity
Rationale for use
Both indicators measure growth in young children. Child growth is internationally recognized as an important public health indicator for monitoring nutritional status and health in populations. In addition, children who suffer from growth retardation as a result of poor diets and/or recurrent infections tend to have greater risks of illness and death. Percentage of children stunted is the percentage of children under ve years who have a height-for-age below minus two standard deviations of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/WHO reference median. Percentage of children underweight is the percentage of children under ve years who have a weight-for-age below minus two standard deviations of the NCHS/ WHO reference median. Severely underweight or stunting is dened as below minus three standard deviations from median weight-for-age or height-for-age of NCHS/WHO reference population. National household surveys, sub-national nutritional surveys and national nutrition surveillance systems. Empirical values are used. Several countries have limited data for recent years and current estimations are made using models that make projections based on past trends.

One-year-olds immunized with 3 one dose of measles (%) 3 three doses of diphtheria, tetanus toxoid and pertussis (DTP3) (%) 3 three doses of Hepatitis B (HepB3 )(%)
Health services coverage indicators
Rationale for use Denition
Immunization coverage estimates are used to monitor immunization services, to guide disease eradication and elimination efforts, and are a good indicator of health system performance. Measles immunization coverage is the percentage of one-year-olds who have received at least one dose of measles containing vaccine in a given year. For countries recommending the rst dose of measles among children older than 12 months of age, the indicator is calculated as the proportion of children less than 24 months of age receiving one dose of measles containing vaccine. DTP3 immunization coverage is the percentage of one-year-olds who have received three doses of, the combined diphtheria and tetanus toxoid and pertussis vaccine in a given year. HepB3 immunization coverage is the percentage of one-year-olds who have received three doses of Hepatitis B3 vaccine in a given year. None.
Administrative data: Reports of vaccinations performed by service providers are used for estimates based on administrative data service providers (e.g. district health centres, vaccination teams, physicians). The estimate of immunization coverage is derived by dividing the total number of vaccinations given by the number of children in the target population, often based on census projections. Household surveys: Survey items correspond to childrens history in coverage surveys. The principle types of surveys are the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) 30-cluster survey, the UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), and the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). WHO and UNICEF rely on reports from countries, household surveys and other sources such as research studies. Both organizations have developed common review process and estimation methodologies.

Rationale for use Denition Associated terms
The indicator is useful in tracking progress towards health, sex and poverty goals. It also serves as a proxy measure of access to reproductive health services that are essential for meeting many of the MDGs, especially the child and maternal mortality and HIV/AIDS goals. Contraceptive prevalence rate is the percentage of women between 15-49 years who are practising, or whose sexual partners are practising, any form of contraception. Contraceptive methods include condoms, female and male sterilization, injectable and oral hormones, intrauterine devices, diaphragms, spermicides and natural family planning, as well as lactational amenorrhoea (lack of menstruation during breastfeeding) where it is cited as a method. Household surveys, Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicators Cluster Surveys (MICS), contraceptive prevalence surveys. Estimates can also be made from service statistics using census projections as a denominator. Such estimates however are often expressed in terms of couple years of protection. Empirical data only.

Rationale for use Denition
This indicator measures the National Tuberculosis Programmes (NTP) ability to diagnose and collect data on tuberculosis (TB) cases. It is also an MDG indicator. Percentage of the total number of smear-positive TB cases estimated to occur countrywide in a given year that are diagnosed (correctly or incorrectly) and reported under DOTS to the national health authority. Detection under DOTS implies that all components of the internationally recommended approach to TB control are in place where patients are detected political commitment; uninterrupted drug supply; use of smear microscopy in diagnosing TB cases; standardized short-course treatment regimens; direct observation of treatment; monitoring of treatment outcomes for 100% of patients with TB. For the numerator, aggregated quarterly reports on TB case registration, which should be available at national TB programme or equivalent central ofce. For the denominator, WHO estimate based on a statistical model that takes into account all available data (which may differ from country to country) and includes case notications and death records (from routine surveillance and vital registration) as well as measures of the prevalence of infection and disease (from population-based surveys). These estimates are reported every year by WHO in the annual report on global TB control. To estimate the incidence of all TB cases, rst a reference year for which a best estimate of incidence is available is selected. Then, the series of case notications (all forms of TB) is used to determine how incidence changed before and after that reference year. The time series of estimated incidence rates is constructed from the notication series in two ways: if the rate of change of incidence is roughly constant through time, the exponential trends is t to the notications; if the rate of change varies, a three-year moving average of the notication rates is used. If the notications for any country are considered to be an unreliable guide to trend (e.g. because reporting effort is known to have changed), the aggregated trend for all other countries with reliable data from the same epidemiological region is applied. The estimate of smear-positive TB is derived from the estimate of all TB cases considering the HIV prevalence in TB cases and assuming that smear-positive cases represent 45% of all HIV negative and 35% of HIV positive TB cases.

(http://www.who.int/tb/wtbd2005/en) Global Tuberculosis Database: (http://www.who.int/GlobalAtlas/DataQuery/browse.asp?catID=011600000000&lev=3) The case detection numerator may be affected by a number of factors: these are potential problems that are indicated by the analysis, rather than limitations of the indicator itself (e.g., underreporting of cases to the NTP). Limitations of the indicator are that it can only be used at the national level and that it can only be used on an annualized basis. In addition, there are certain limitations inherent in the calculation of DOTS coverage and in WHOs estimate of incidence. The limitation of use only at the national level (countrywide analysis) is related to the accuracy and appropriateness of the denominator, WHOs estimated incidence for the country as a whole. There may be real differences in TB epidemiology in urban/rural areas and/or at sub-national levels, which means that the national estimate should not be used at sub-national levels.

(http://www.who.int/tb/wtbd2005/en) Global Tuberculosis Database: (http://www.who.int/GlobalAtlas/DataQuery/browse.asp?catID=011600000000&lev=3) This indicator relies on accuracy and effort in the determination of treatment outcomes at the facility level including the follow-up of transferred patients. At higher levels, this indicator is affected by completeness of reporting. For example, if reporting on cases registered is more complete than reporting (1 year later) on treatment outcomes, then the outcome of some cases in the denominator will be unaccounted for. For pulmonary smear-positive cases, the cure rate is more trustworthyor more valuablethan the success rate because patients who completed treatment but who do not have bacteriological conrmation of cure could conceivably still have smear positive TB disease. The large majority of successfully treated cases should have bacteriological conrmation of cure. Another important limitation is that success (and other treatment outcomes monitored routinely in TB programmes) is an outcome of treatment regimens, not patient results. Although it might be useful to analyse a cohort of TB patients in terms of survival or TB-free status at a given point in time (e.g. 12 months, 24 months), the routine TB monitoring system was not designed to facilitate such an analysis.

The number of adults with advanced HIV infection who need to start treatment is estimated as the number of AIDS cases in the current year times two. The total number of adults needing ARV therapy is calculated by adding the number of adults that need to start ARV therapy to the number of adults who are being treated in the previous year and have survived into the current year.

Population with 3 sustainable access to an improved water source (%) 3 access to improved sanitation (%)
Environmental Risk Factor indicator
Rationale for use
Access to drinking water and improved sanitation is a fundamental need and a human right vital for the dignity and health of all people. The health and economic benets of improved water supply to households and individuals (especially children) are well documented. Both indicators are used to monitor progress towards the MDGs. Access to improved water source is the percentage of population with access to an improved drinking water source in a given year. Access to improved sanitation is the percentage of population with access to improved sanitation in a given year. Improved drinking water sources are dened in terms of the types of technology and levels of services that are more likely to provide safe water than unimproved technologies. Improved water sources include household connections, public standpipes, boreholes, protected dug wells, protected springs, and rainwater collections. Unimproved water sources are unprotected wells, unprotected springs, vendor-provided water, bottled water and tanker truck-provided water. Reasonable access is broadly dened as the availability of at least 20 liters per person per day from a source within one kilometer of the users dwelling. Sustainable access has two components with respect to water: one stands for environmental sustainability, the other for functional sustainability. The former insists on environmental protection through limiting extraction of water to a capacity below what is actually available. The latter reects programme sustainability in terms of supply and management. Improved sanitation facilities are dened in terms of the types of technology and levels of services that are more likely to be sanitary than unimproved technologies. Improved sanitation includes connection to a public sewers, connection to septic systems, pour-ush latrines, simple pit latrines and ventilated improved pit latrines. Not considered as improved sanitation are service or bucket latrines (where excreta is manually removed), public latrines and open latrines. Household surveys and assessment questionnaires to complement survey data or to provide estimates where survey data are not available. The latter also captures information related to usage and breakdown of self-built water facilities of which service providers may be unaware. Estimates are generated through analysis of survey data and linear regression of data points. Coverage estimates are updated every two years. By location (urban/rural).

The use of solid fuels in households is associated with increased child mortality, mainly from respiratory diseases, and is an indicator of socio-economic status. It is also an MDG indicator. Percentage of population using solid fuels as the main cooking fuel. Solid fuels include coal, charcoal, wood, crops or other agricultural waste, dung, shrubs, grass, straw etc. Household surveys and national census. National energy statistics on the proportion of population using solid fuels are based either on data from surveys or censuses, or on statistical models where no survey or census data are available. The data from surveys and censuses are used as reported in the surveys and censuses. A regression model based on gross national income, per capita petroleum consumption and rural population is being used. All countries with a GNP per capita above US$ 5,000 are assumed to have made a complete transition to cooking with non-solid fuels.

3 Prevalence
Behavioural Risk Factor indicator
of current tobacco use in adolescents (13-15 years of age) by males and females
Rationale for use
Early onset of tobacco use is an important risk factor for chronic diseases associated with tobacco later in life. Tobacco is an addictive substance and smoking often starts in adolescence, before the development of risk perception. By the time the risk to health is recognized, the addicted individuals nd it difcult to stop tobacco use. Prevalence of tobacco use (including smoking, oral tobacco and snuff) on more than one occasion in the 30 days preceding the survey, among adolescents aged 13-15 years. None.

Global Alcohol Database: (http://www.who.int/alcohol) It is important to note that these gures comprise, in most cases, the recorded alcohol consumption only and have some inherent problems. Factors that inuence the accuracy of per capita data are: informal production, tourist and overseas consumption, stockpiling, waste and spillage, smuggling, duty-free sales, variation in beverage strength and the quality of the data on which it is based. In some countries there exists a signicant unrecorded alcohol consumption that needs be taken into account for a comprehensive picture of total alcohol consumption. Several African countries (Uganda, Nigeria, Swaziland and Burundi) appear in the list in the top 30 positions of adult per capita consumption. This is because the calculations were based on FAO data which include fermented beverages and estimates of beer produced locally from sorghum, millet and other agricultural products.

3 Condom
Behavioural Risk Factor indicator
use at higher risk sex among young people aged 15-24 years (%)
Rationale for use
Consistent correct use of condoms within non-regular sexual partnerships substantially reduces the risk of sexual HIV transmission. This is especially important for young people who often experience the highest rates of HIV infection. Condom use is one measure of protection against sexual transmission of HIV; others include delaying age at rst sex, reducing the number of nonregular sexual partners, being faithful to one uninfected partner, avoidance of concurrent sexual partnerships and high-risk sexual practices such as unprotected anal sex. Percentage of young people aged 1524 years reporting the use of a condom during the last sexual intercourse with a non-regular partner among those who had sex with a non-regular partner in the last 12 months. A non-regular sexual partner is a non-marital and non-cohabiting partner.

Household surveys such as Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (MICS), Behavioural Surveillance Surveys (BSS). Empirical data only. Survey respondents aged 1524 years are asked whether they have commenced sexual activity. Those who report sexual activity and have had sexual intercourse with a non-regular partner in the last 12 months, are further asked about the number of non-regular partners and whether they used condom protection the last time they had sex with a non-regular partner.

There is often substantial reluctance to report non-regular sexual activity, especially among young women. Furthermore, if condoms are promoted in AIDS campaigns, there may be a strong desirability bias: respondents say they used condoms, even if they have not.

Health System Indicators
Rationale for use
The availability and composition of human resources for health is an important indicator of the strength of the health system, even though there is no consensus about the optimal level of health workers for a population and the higher levels of density are not necessarily better. The nurse-physician ratio is an indicator of the health worker skills mix. Physicians density is the number of physicians per 10 000 population. Nurse density is the number of nurses per 10 000 population. Total number of health workers per 10 000 population is the total number of physicians, nurses and midwives Nurse-physician ratio is the ratio of the number of nurses to physicians. Physicians, nurses and midwives are dened on the basis of education, regulation, activities and task-based criteria (combined WHO and ILO classication system). This does not include auxiliary nurses. In some countries, statistics on midwives are included in the reported numbers, in others they are not. The 2004 Joint Learning Initiative report on human resources for health used three categories to identify low, medium and high density of health workers: less than 25, 25-50 and 50 or more health workers respectively per 10 000 population. Country reports forwarded to WHO regional ofces or headquarters, based on administrative records such as databases of registered physicians/nurses in the country. In some countries data are obtained from the census, labour force or other surveys that include questions about occupations of the household members. Data on physicians and nurse constitute generally the best information available on human resources for heath. In the WHO Region of the Americas, the indicator Number of nurses and midwives per 10 000 refers to nurses and nurses-midwives per 10 000. It does not include midwives. No methods of estimation have been developed.

Health System Indicators
Rationale for use Denition
Health nancing is a critical component of health systems. There is a wide range of indicators that need to be monitored. The selected indicators summarize national expenditure on health. Total health expenditure as percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Percentage of total general government expenditure that is spent on health. Total health expenditure is the sum of general government expenditure on health and private expenditure on health in a given year (in international dollars). GDP is the value of goods and services provided in a country by residents and non-residents without regard to their allocation among domestic and foreign claims. This corresponds to the total sum of expenditure (consumption and investment) of the private and government agents of the economy during the reference year. General government expenditure includes consolidated direct outlays and indirect outlays, including capital of all levels of government. Social security institutions, autonomous bodies, and other extra-budgetary funds. International dollars are derived by dividing local currency units by an estimate of their Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) compared to US dollar, i.e. a measure that minimizes the consequences of differences in price levels existing between countries. Health expenditure data are based on National Health Accounts (NHA), which synthesize nancing and spending ows recorded in the operation of a health system. However, only a limited number of countries produce full NHA. Other national sources include public expenditure reports, statistical yearbooks and other periodicals, budgetary documents, national account reports, statistical data on ofcial web sites, nongovernmental organization reports, academic studies and reports and data provided by government ministries and ofces. The United Nations National Account Statistics are the main source for GDP for most countries. General government expenditure obtained from national accounts of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries and International Monetary Fund (IMF) government nance statistics. Estimates for total health expenditure per capita are based on NHA or multiple other sources provided to WHO and partners by the countries or publicly available sources. Ratios are represented in per capita terms by dividing the expenditure gures by population gures. These per capita gures are expressed rst in US dollars at an average exchange rate which is the observed annual average number of units at which a currency is traded in the banking system. It is then also presented in international dollar estimates which, as noted above, minimizes the impact of price differentials between countries. None.
