Health at a Glance 2019
OECD Indicators
Health at a Glance compares key indicators for population health and health system performance across OECD members, candidate and partner countries. It highlights how countries differ in terms of the health status and health-seeking behaviour of their citizens; access to and quality of health care; and the resources available for health. Analysis is based on the latest comparable data across 80 indicators, with data coming from official national statistics, unless otherwise stated.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends, including how much health spending is associated with staffing, access, quality and health outcomes. This edition also includes a special focus on patient-reported outcomes and experiences, with a thematic chapter on measuring what matters for people-centred health systems.

Reader’s guide
Health at a Glance 2019: OECD Indicators compares key indicators for population health and health system performance across the 36 OECD member countries. Candidate and partner countries are also included where possible – Brazil, People’s Republic of China (China), Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, the Russian Federation (Russia) and South Africa. On 25 May 2018, the OECD Council invited Colombia to become a Member. At the time of preparation of this publication, the deposit of Colombia’s instrument of accession to the OECD Convention was pending and therefore Colombia does not appear in the list of OECD Members and is not included in the OECD zone aggregates.
