Access and Quality: The Performance of Health Systems Worldwide

The North American Observatory welcomes Martin McKee, Professor, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine & Research Director of the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies to provide a lecture on Access and Quality: The Performance of Health Systems Worldwide.

In the 17 years since the World Health Report 2000, which controversially proposed measures of performance of 193 health systems worldwide, there have been enormous advances in the information available on health and disease worldwide, led by the Global Burden of Disease project. In this talk, Martin McKee will present new findings from the project, which have employed the concept of avoidable mortality and linked it to these new sources of data. He will discuss both the remaining challenges and the implications of these findings to researchers and policy decision-makers.
