Health at a Glance 2021
OECD Indicators
Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of health care, and health resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on the health impact of COVID-19 in OECD countries, including deaths and illness caused by the virus, adverse effects on access and quality of care, and the growing burden of mental ill-health.

Survival for other major cancers
In order to improve poor cancer outcomes (see indicator “Main causes of mortality” in Chapter 3), many OECD countries have broadened their efforts in cancer control. For example, the EU’s renewed political commitment is articulated in its Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. However, the COVID‑19 pandemic has disrupted primary and secondary prevention, diagnosis and treatment for cancers to a variable extent. OECD countries may therefore find it difficult to continue to improve cancer outcomes.
