World Health Organization

The World Health Statistics series is WHO’s annual compilation of health- data for its 193 Member States, and includes a summary of the progress made towards achieving the health- Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and associated targets.

As with previous versions, World Health Statistics 2011 has been compiled using publications and databases produced and maintained the technical programs and regional offices of WHO. Indicators have been included on the basis of their relevance to global public health, the availability and quality of the data, and the reliability and comparability of the resulting estimates. Taken together, these indicators provide a comprehensive summary of the current status of national health and health systems in key areas. Every effort has been made to ensure the optimal use of reported country data–adjusted where necessary to deal with missing values, to correct for known biases and to maximize comparability. In addition, statistical techniques and modelling have been used to fill data gaps.

WHO presents World Health Statistics 2011 as an integral part of its ongoing efforts to provide enhanced access to high-quality data on core measures of population health and national health systems. Unless otherwise stated, all estimates have been cleared following consultation with Member States and are published here as official WHO figures.

Management of Health Risks from Environment and Food

Springer; 1 edition November 23, 2009 ISBN-10: 9048130271 387 pages PDF 3.31 MB

This book examines the policy and politics of two health risks, which have recently become prominent social issues in many countries. One is the issue of asbestos as an environmental risk to humans, and another is that of bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE), or mad cow disease as an animal disease, and of its variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) as a human food risk. Employing a set of analytical frameworks in political science, each case study explores how the issues emerged, agendas got set, alternatives were chosen, and policies were implemented. Through the analysis, it is examined how safety and public reassurance were pursued in the countries studied (Japan, the UK, France the USA, and Korea). Exploration of the successes and failures in their efforts discloses the key elements to successful health risk management.
