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.

Avoidable mortality (preventable and treatable)
Indicators of avoidable mortality offer a general “starting point” to assess the effectiveness of public health and healthcare systems in reducing deaths from various diseases and injuries. Avoidable mortality includes both preventable deaths that can be avoided through effective public health and prevention interventions, and treatable deaths that can be avoided through timely and effective healthcare interventions. COVID‑19 is categorised as a preventable disease in the “infectious diseases” category, on the basis that most deaths could be prevented through measures such as vaccination and the use of protective equipment.
