Where does
this information
come from?
WHO relies on many sources to compile the World Health
Statistics. These include government birth and death
registration systems, hospital records, household surveys,
censuses, certied expenditure records and data obtained
from research projects.
WHO makes every effort to make the best possible use of
data reported by countries. Many countries do not have strong
health information systems so the data is not always available
and varies in quality. Sometimes we have to adjust this
information to deal with missing values, to correct for known
biases, and to help make comparisons between countries
and over time. We also use statistical modelling to help ll
gaps in data.
Demographic and socioeconomic statistics come from
databases managed by other organizations in the United
Nations family and beyond, including the International
Telecommunication Union, United Nations Department of
Economic and Social Affairs, United Nations Children’s Fund

and the World Bank.

Immunization coverage
Ten years in child health
For the first time, the World Health Statistics compares the state of child health from
the years 2000 and 2010, showing how global public health advancements have helped
save children’s lives in the past 10 years.
The world has made significant progress in reducing the number of child deaths.
In 2000, an estimated 9.6 million children aged less than 5 years died worldwide.
The biggest killers were pneumonia, prematurity, diarrhoeal disease, malaria, measles
and HIV/AIDS. By 2010, annual child deaths had been reduced to 7.6 million.
Measles deaths cut by 74%
Measles immunization is one of the most remarkable recent public health successes. In
the year 2000, more than 477 000 children died from measles. In just 10 years, measles
deaths have been cut by 74% to less than 114 000 child deaths worldwide (Figure 1).
This achievement is entirely due to a strong campaign to increase global vaccination
coverage. In 2010, 85% of children aged 12–23 months worldwide were immunized
against measles.

The world is getting heavier
Worldwide, 2.8 million people die each year as a result of being overweight or obese.
Being overweight or obese increases the risks of coronary heart disease, ischaemic
stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus and some common cancers.

Between 1980 and 2008, the worldwide prevalence of obesity (body mass index
≥30 kg m
2
) almost doubled (Figure 3). By 2008, 10% of men and 14% of women
(half a billion people) in the world were obese, compared with 5% of men and 8%
of women in 1980.
WHO’s Region of the Americas has the highest percentage of overweight and obese
people (62% overweight in both sexes, and 26% obese) and the South-East Asia Region
has the lowest (14% overweight in both sexes and 3% obese).
Get that pressure down
Raised blood pressure is a high-risk condition that causes approximately 51% of deaths
from stroke and 45% from coronary heart disease. It is considered directly responsible
for 7.5 million deaths in 2004 – about 12.8% of the total of all global deaths.
Widespread diagnosis and treatment has led to a dramatic drop in mean blood
pressure in high-income countries. In contrast, in Africa more than one third of people
are estimated to have high blood pressure and this condition is increasing (Figure 2).
Many of these cases could be treated with low-cost medications, which would
significantly reduce the risk of death and disability from heart disease and stroke.

Saving more mothers
Somewhere in the world every two minutes, a woman dies from pregnancy or childbirth-
related causes. One third of all these maternal deaths take place in just two countries:
India with 20% of the global total (56 000 deaths) and Nigeria with 14% (40 000 deaths).
In the past 20 years, the number of maternal deaths have been reduced by almost 50%
from more than 540 000 deaths in 1990 to less than 290 000 in 2010. This burden is still
extremely uneven, with women in developing countries facing 15 times the risk of dying
during pregnancy or from childbirth-related complications. Most of the 40 countries
with high maternal mortality rates are in sub-Saharan Africa where 500 women die per
100 000 live births (Figure 4). Ten percent of maternal deaths in Africa are due to the
aggravating effect of HIV-infection on pregnancy.
To reduce the number of maternal deaths, women need access to good-quality
reproductive-health care, including family planning – an important intervention that
could reduce maternal deaths by up to one-third. Worldwide in 2008, 63% of women
aged 15–49 years who were married or in a consensual union were using some form
of contraception. However in the Africa Region, only 24% of these women were using
contraception compared to 80% in the Western Pacific Region.

Money for health
The range and quality of health services is largely determined by the money available to
improve health in each country. This is influenced by that country’s wealth, the proportion
of the national budget that it devotes to health and funds from external donors.
Worldwide, the range of money spent on health is extreme: health expenditure from
all sources – public, private and external – ranged from US$ 11 per person per year
in Eritrea to US$ 8262 per person in Luxembourg. Average per capita expenditures
varied substantially from US$ 25 in low-income countries to US$ 4692 in high-income
countries. Richer countries with lower disease burden use more health resources than
poorer countries with higher disease burden (Figure 5).
The High Level Taskforce on Innovative International Financing for Health Systems
suggested that, on average, a low-income country would have to spend a minimum of
US$ 44 per capita to ensure all people had access to a set of essential health services
focusing largely on HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, and maternal and child health. In 2009,
29 countries spent less than this minimum recommended amount. At this low level, it is
not possible to ensure access to even a limited set of health services.

Counting births and deaths
Only one quarter of the world’s population lives in countries where more than 90% of births
and deaths are registered – and these are mostly high-income countries. The situation is
even worse for information on deaths and causes. Only 34 countries – representing 15%
of the world population – produce high-quality cause-of-death data and almost all of these
countries are in Europe and the Americas. In low-resource settings, where the need for
information is greatest, death registration coverage is at its lowest (Figure 6).

More than 100 countries do not have well-functioning civil registration systems. More
than 75% of uncounted births and deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa and south-east Asia.
The world’s two most populous countries, China and India, do not have national civil
registration systems, instead they estimate births and deaths based on population samples.
