?Foreword

Over two years since it first began, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause major disruptions to health systems around the world. Not only is the delivery of essential health services delayed, the pandemic has also interrupted global efforts to monitor and track health data, depriving analysts and researchers of key information at a very critical time. Many national statistical offices and ministries of health employed new data collection methods to circumvent catastrophe. Unfortunately, not all Member States had the resources or capacity to adapt, leaving their statistical and informational systems even further behind. At the time of writing, more than 500 million COVID-19 cases 6 million deaths have been reported to WHO. But limitations in testing and many countries' health information systems mean the true toll is much higher. For this reason, WHO has also produced estimates of excess mortality associated directly or indirectly with the COVID-19 pandemic. WHO's World health statistics 2022 includes an analysis of the epidemiological evolution of the pandemic over the last two years, including the impact of excess mortality, along with a summary of disruptions to health services worldwide. The report also presents the latest data for more than 50 health-related indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO's "Triple Billion" targets, and provides comprehensive country-level statistics for both burden of disease and service delivery for the first year of the pandemic. It shows overall increases in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy over the last 20 years, as a result of reductions in maternal and child mortality and in premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases, which have both had a positive impact on global health. The report also includes data on the two main indicators for universal health coverage: the extent to which people have access to essential health services; and the extent to which they face financial hardship as a result of having to pay for those services out of their own pockets. While health service coverage has improved since 2000, catastrophic health expenditure has worsened. We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will slow the progress made in service coverage, and worsen financial protection, particularly for the most vulnerable populations. Despite these setbacks, WHO remains committed to supporting countries to improve health data and information systems, to show who is being left behind and where countries can make the best investments for the biggest health gains.
