Abstract
There are many multi-attribute indicators of countries’ levels of wealth, poverty, inequality, and development. Some of these indicators, such as the Human Development Index, consider aspects of population health. This chapter presents the first multi-attribute indicator comparing the impact of key drugs on poor health across the world: the Global Health Impact (GHI) index. It evaluates the impact of key drugs on malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and several neglected tropical diseases in every country in the world. The chapter includes a discussion of possible future directions for research and ends with a discussion of the GHI index and numerous questions that remain regarding its methodology and implementation.
