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.

The number of doctors in OECD countries increased from about 2.9 million in 2001 to 3.5 million in 2011 and 4.3 million in 2021. In all OECD countries, the number of doctors increased more rapidly than population size over the past decade, so that, on average, the number of doctors per 1 000 population rose from 3.2 in 2011 to 3.7 in 2021 (Figure 8.4).
