Summary:

Health at a Glance is a new statistical publication from the OECD covering life expectancy, health care resources, health system activities, health care financing, and health expenditure. At the same time, it provides striking evidence of the sheer size of the variations across countries in most indicators of health system resources, activity and expenditure. Based on the OECD Health Data database, it provides easy access to the most frequently requested health economy data.
