The world health report
The World Health Report, first published in 1995, is WHO's leading publication. Each year the report combines an expert assessment of global health, including statistics relating to all countries, with a focus on a specific subject. The main purpose of the report is to provide countries, donor agencies, international organizations and others with the information they need to help them make policy and funding decisions. The report is also offered to a wider audience, from universities, teaching hospitals and schools, to journalists and the public at large - anyone, in fact, with a professional or personal interest in international health issues.
Current World Health Report
Good health is essential to human welfare and
to sustained economic and social development.
WHO's Member States have set themselves
the target of developing their health financing
systems to ensure that all people can use health
services, while being protected against financial
hardship associated with paying for them.
In this report, the World Health Organization
maps out what countries can do to modify their
financing systems so they can move more quickly
towards this goal - universal coverage - and
sustain the gains that have been achieved The
report builds on new research and lessons learnt
from country experience. It provides an action
agenda for countries at all stages of development
and proposes ways that the international
community can better support efforts in lowincome
countries to achieve universal coverage
and improve health outcomes.
