Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of healthcare, and health system resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Geographic distribution of doctors
Access to medical care requires a sufficient number and proper distribution of doctors in all parts of the country. A shortage of doctors in some regions can lead to inequalities in access to care and unmet needs. Difficulties in recruiting and retaining doctors in certain regions has been an important policy issue in many OECD countries for a long time, especially in countries with remote and sparsely populated areas.
