New WHO health inequality country profiles to track progress on achieving health equity
Summary: The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched new online profiles to track health fairness across 195 countries. These interactive tools look at 45 different health signs—like life expectancy and disease rates—to see how care changes based on a person's age, wealth, and hometown. The goal is to make sure everyone gets the care they need, no matter who they are. You can look up your own country to see how it scores, and even spot where governments are missing important health data!
