Health at a Glance 2023
OECD Indicators
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.

Cancer screening
Early diagnosis, together with healthy lifestyles (see Chapter 4 “Risk factors for health”), is key to tackling cancer. Screening is considered a cost-effective way to reduce the burden of breast, cervical and colorectal cancer. Most OECD countries have programmes for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening in place for target populations, but for each cancer type, the target population, screening frequency and methods can vary across countries.
