The document defines 30 key health indicators used by the WHO to measure and analyze population health. Some of the indicators include life expectancy at birth, healthy life expectancy, neonatal mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio, tuberculosis mortality rate, and rates of immunization coverage. The indicators measure longevity, causes of death, access to healthcare, disease burden, and health system resources.

1. HEALTH INDICATORS (WHO)
DR.PADMESH

2.  1.Life expectancy at birth:
 Definition
 Average number of years that a newborn is expected to live if
current mortality rates continue to apply.
 Life expectancy at birth reflects the overall mortality level of a
population.
 It summarizes the mortality pattern that prevails across all age
groups - children and adolescents, adults and the elderly.

3.  2. Healthy life expectancy (HALE):
 Definition
 Average number of years that a person can expect to live in "full
health" by taking into account years lived in less than full health
due to disease and/or injury.

4.  3. Neonatal mortality rate (per 1 000 live births):
 Definition
 Number of deaths during the first 28 completed days* of life per
1 000 live births in a given year or period.
* Neonatal deaths may be subdivided into early neonatal deaths,
occurring during the first seven days of life, and late neonatal
deaths, occurring after the seventh day but before the 28
completed days of life.

5.  4. Probability of dying (per 1000) under age one
year (infant mortality rate):
 Definition
 Infant mortality rate is the probability of a child born in a specific
year or period dying before reaching the age of one, if subject to
age-specific mortality rates of that period.

6.  5. Probability of dying (per 1000) under age five
years (under-five mortality rate):
 Definition
 Under-five mortality rate is the probability of a child born in a
specific year or period dying before reaching the age of five, if
subject to age-specific mortality rates of that period.
 Under-five mortality rate and Infant mortality rate, are strictly speaking,
not rates (i.e. the number of deaths divided by the number of population at risk
during a certain period of time) but a probability of death derived from a life table
and expressed as rate per 1000 live births.

7.  6. Maternal mortality ratio (per 100 000 live
births):
 Definition
 Number of maternal deaths per 100 000 live births during a
specified time period, usually one year.
 Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) represents the risk associated
with each pregnancy, i.e. the obstetric risk.

8.  7. Tuberculosis mortality:
 Definition
 Estimated number of deaths due to TB in given time period.
 Expressed in this database as deaths per 100 000 population per
year.
 Includes deaths from all forms of TB, and deaths from TB in
people with HIV.

9.  8. Years of life lost (percentage of total):
 Definition
 YLL are calculated from the number of deaths multiplied by a
standard life expectancy at the age at which death occurs.

10.  9. Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY):
 Definition
 The sum of years of potential life lost due to premature
mortality and the years of productive life lost due to disability.

11.  10. Antenatal care coverage (%):
 Definition
 Percentage of women who utilized antenatal care provided by
skilled health personnel for reasons related to pregnancy at least
once during pregnancy as a percentage of live births in a given
time period.

12.  OTHERS:
 11. Estimated rate of children below 15 years of age dying of
HIV/AIDS (per 1 000)
 12. Estimated rate of adults (15 years and older) dying of
HIV/AIDS (per 1 000)
 13. Causes of death among children under five years of age
(percentage)
 14. Incidence of tuberculosis
 15. Prevalence of tuberculosis

13.  OTHERS:
 16. Number of poliomyelitis cases
 17. Births attended by skilled health personnel (%)
 18. One-year-olds immunized with
-one dose of measles (%)
-three doses of diphtheria, tetanus toxoid and
pertussis (DTP3) (%)
-three doses of Hepatitis B (HepB3 )(%)

14.  OTHERS:
 19. Tuberculosis: DOTS case detection rate
 20. Tuberculosis: DOTS treatment success
 21. Children under five years of age with acute
respiratory infection and fever (ARI) taken to facility
 22. Children under five years of age with diarrhoea
who received ORT

15.  OTHERS:
 23. Children 6-59 month of age who received
vitamin A supplementation
 24. Newborns with low birth weight (%)
 25. Children under five years of age
- stunted for age (percentage)
- underweight for age (percentage)
- overweight for age (percentage)

16.  OTHERS:
 26. Total expenditure on health as percentage of GDP
 27. General government expenditure on health as
percentage of total general government expenditure
 28. Per capita government expenditure on health at
international dollar rate
 29. Number of hospital beds per 10 000 population
 30. Number of physicians per 1000 population
