The Global Health Observatory (GHO) Data Repository provides access to over 50 datasets of World Health Organization (WHO) data on priority health topics including mortality and burden of diseases, the health systems, and environmental health, among others.

Data is displayed in tables, linked to relevant metadata, and available for export. You can navigate through data according to health indicator categories, and filter the data according to country or year. Data is helpfully themed within the GHO Portal, which displays representations and analyses of studies both visually and statistically, see example.

Data about countries is collected, and represented by the best estimates of WHO using methodologies for specific indicators that aim for comparability across countries and time.
