The World Health Statistics series is WHO’s annual compilation of health-related data for its 193 Member States, and includes a summary of the progress made towards achieving the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and associated targets.

As a result they should not be regarded as the nationally endorsed statistics of Member States which may have been derived using alternative methodologies
