WHO is releasing the 2023 edition of its annual World Health Statistics report with new figures on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the latest statistics on progress towards the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The report with data up to 2022 underscores a stagnation of health progress on key health indicators in recent years compared to trends seen during 2000-2015.
