Graphic Look at the State of the World (and Global Health Data Links)

Posted by thdblog | Posted in Data, Food for thought, Global Health | Posted on 19-08-2009

I just discovered this good one stop shop (Global Education Project) for quick facts and figures in a variety of areas (see below). While there is some data like this for global health, it would be nice to have a more comprehensive and aggregated data website. Speaking of that, aggregation for global health should be a priority across domains and in terms of data. There is so much that could be done that does not seem to be happening except in a few recent pockets (see GHD Online, Maternova and MIT IIH for three different styles of effort; also see links on global health data sources below the image).
