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.

International migration of doctors and nurses
While it takes many years to train new doctors and nurses, recruiting them from abroad can provide a quicker solution to address immediate shortages, although it may exacerbate shortages in countries of origin. Several OECD countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, have traditionally relied on international recruitment of doctors and nurses. In some countries, this reliance has increased following the pandemic (OECD, 2023[1]).
