Health at a Glance 2023
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 healthcare, and health system 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 digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Major public health threats
The COVID‑19 pandemic has shown the global impact of public health threats. As not all lessons from previous health crises such as the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic were applied before the COVID‑19 pandemic, countries could learn vastly from this experience to be better prepared in the future. Recent OECD work has highlighted three major vulnerabilities that health systems faced during the pandemic – they were underprepared, understaffed, and suffered from underinvestment (OECD, 2023[1]). Addressing these vulnerabilities is critical to strengthening the resilience of health systems to future crises.
