Global Health Resources: GBD

The Global Burden of Disease Study is the largest ever systematic effort to describe the global distribution and causes of a wide array of major diseases, injuries, and health risk factors.

"The project aims to produce estimates of health outcomes and related measures that cover entire continents, but to do so at a granular, local resolution. Such estimates will allow decision-makers to target resources and health interventions precisely, for maximum impact."
