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.

Illicit drug use
Illicit drug use is a major cause of preventable mortality, both directly through overdose and indirectly through drug-related diseases, accidents, violence and suicide (EMCDDA, 2022[1]). The use of illicit drugs, particularly among people who use them regularly and in large quantities, is associated with higher risks of cardiovascular diseases, mental health problems and accidents, as well as infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C when the drug is injected.
