Frequently Asked Questions
Why only 26 countries?
The Global Health & Disease Burden 2024 dataset only publishes complete records for 26 countries with mature national reporting. The other 210 countries appear in the Country Hub with their WHO outbreak history but no health-system metrics.
What does "DTP3" mean?
The diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis third-dose vaccination rate — a standard WHO indicator for the strength of a country’s childhood immunisation program. Higher is better; the WHO target is 95%.
How does this relate to outbreak data?
Health-system capacity and outbreak likelihood are correlated but not deterministic. Some high-spending countries still see high outbreak counts (often because surveillance is more complete and they report more). Cross-reference with the Risk Assessment page.
