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.

Breast cancer care
Breast cancer is the cancer with the highest incidence among women in all OECD countries, and the second most common cause of cancer death among women (see indicator “Cancer incidence and mortality” in Chapter 3). Although the quality and outcomes of breast cancer care have generally been improving in recent years, as seen in improved survival estimates, the COVID‑19 pandemic may have a negative impact on breast cancer outcomes in OECD countries.
