Welcome to the Health Systems 20/20
Health Systems Database. This easy-to-use
web-based tool compiles and analyzes country data from multiple sources,
provides charting options, and generates automated country fact sheets, helping
users to assess the performance of the country’s health systems.
The
Health Systems Database draws data from publicly available and internationally
comparable databases. Sources are publications from the World Health Organization
(WHO), the World Bank, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the
Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). More recent data may be available from other
sources including in-country sources. The
user contribution section of this tool is
designed to capture and share such information.
The tool offers a user-friendly interface with several types of
graphing and
mapping features as well as a
flexible data download system that provide key
health systems information for any selected country. Comparisons with peer
countries in the region and income group are provided, which allows for some
benchmarking of performance, especially when international standards for
benchmarking are not available.
Country Health Systems Fact Sheets provide
automated profiles, covering multiple health systems functions, for any low
income or lower middle income country.
The Health Systems Database complements the
Health Systems Assessment Approach: A How-To Manual
released in 2007 and, therefore, it closely mirrors the framework and
quantitative analysis presented in the manual. Key health systems
indicators are organized around seven technical modules:
Core module, Governance, Health financing, Health service delivery,
Human resources, Pharmaceutical management, and Health information
systems. The Health Systems Database provides data for the assessment
manual’s Component 1 indicators and replaces the CD provided with the
manual.
Health Systems 20/20's Health System Database Brief
Data available on the site (except for the DHS) was updated as of January 17, 2012.
