The World health statistics report is the World Health Organization's (WHO) latest annual compilation of health and health-related indicators for its 194 Member States. The 2023 edition consolidates data for 50+ health and health related indicators (SDGs and GPW13).

World Health Statistics 2010 contains WHO's annual compilation of data from its 193 member states, and includes a summary of progress towards the health-related millennium development goals and targets. It provides a comprehensive summary of the current status of national health and health systems including; mortality and burden of disease, causes of death, reported infectious diseases, health service coverage, risk factors, health systems resources, health expenditures, inequities and demographic and socioeconomic statistics.

This issue of the world health statistics annual introduces a new system for dating these volumes. Henceforth they will carry the year of publication instead of, as hitherto, the year to which the data mainly relate. Thus the previous issue, the world health statistics annual 1972 contained data mainly for 1972, but was published in 1975. This present volume contains data not for a specified year as heretofore but all data received between publication of the preceding volume 1972 and the present issue. These data relate mainly to 1973 and 1974. Også med titlen: Annuaire de statistiques sanitaires mondiales 1973-1976. Vol.1.
