This new edition of Health at a Glance presents the most recent comparable data on the performance of health systems in OECD countries. Where possible, it also reports data for partner countries (Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russian Federation and South Africa). Compared with the previous edition, this new edition includes a new set of dashboards of health indicators to summarise in a clear and user-friendly way the relative strengths and weaknesses of OECD countries on different key indicators of health and health system performance, and also a special focus on the pharmaceutical sector. This edition also contains new indicators on health workforce migration and on the quality of health care.

Pharmacists and pharmacies
Pharmacists assist people in obtaining medication and ensuring that these are used in a safe and proper fashion. The role of the pharmacists has changed over the recent years. Although their main role is still to dispense medications in community pharmacies, pharmacists are increasingly providing direct care to patients (e.g. flu vaccinations in Ireland), both in community pharmacies and as part of integrated health care provider teams.
