New Online Health Systems Database

April 11, 2008


Abt Associates’ Health Systems 20/20 project has just launched a great new resource:

The Health Systems Database is an easy-to-use web-based tool that compiles and analyzes country data, allowing users to quickly assess the performance of a country’s health system. The user-friendly interface provides charting options and generates automated country fact sheets. Users can assess the performance of the health systems of more than 200 countries utilizing selected indicators from WHO, the World Bank, and UNICEF. The database allows users to quickly generate comparisons with peer countries in the region and income group for benchmarking of performance.

Definitely worth a peek!

    The Race Against Drug Resistance
    A short film tells the story of Khalifa, a nurse in Ghana who contracted typhoid. She takes one drug and then another—each more expensive than the last—but still she isn’t well. The film uses expert interviews and animation to explain why drug resistance threatens us all—and what we can do about it.
