Foreword

More than ever, effective and well-targeted data and indicators of health and health care are essential to help policy makers assessing the quality of care and strengthen efforts to improve the performance of health systems across the Asia-Pacific region.

Health at a Glance: Asia-Pacific 2016 presents the latest comparable data and trends on key aspects of health outcomes and health systems in selected Asia-Pacific countries. The indicators provide an overview of health status, determinants of health, health care resources and utilisation, health expenditure and financing, and quality of care in the region. As countries strive to achieve universal health coverage, these indicators help measure their progress.

Comparing health system performance across countries is important to identify and share good practices, foster innovation, and inspire policy makers to consider new approaches and strategies to advance the 2030 agenda for sustainable development.

We hope that the data reported in this publication will help policy makers make further progress towards universal health coverage, improving and promoting the health status and well-being of population across the Asia-Pacific region.

Life expectancy has continued to increase, while maternal mortality is still very high
  • Life expectancy at birth across Asian countries reached 73.7 years in 2015, a gain of about 4.6 years since 2000. OECD countries gained, on average, 3.4 years over the same period.

  • The infant mortality rate has fallen dramatically across the region since 2000, with many countries experiencing declines of greater than 50%. At an average of 21.5 deaths per 1 000 live births in 2015, infant mortality is still five times the OECD rate.

  • Maternal mortality averages around seven deaths per 100 000 live births in OECD countries, while in Asian countries it is almost 13 times greater. Between 2000 and 2015, the average maternal mortality rate across Asian countries was cut by more than half.
