What it measures
Coverage of essential health services (reproductive, infectious, non-communicable, capacity).
Note
Published every two to three years; carried forward and flagged in between.
From published value to score
  1. Published value. Native scale: 0 to 100 index points.
  2. Transform: value (no transform).
  3. Goalposts (fixed for all years; 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of all observed country-years): worst = 23.0 scores 0, best = 86.0 scores 100.
  4. Direction: higher is better, no flip.
  5. Clip and scale: anything below the worst goalpost scores 0 and anything above the best scores 100; multiply by 100.
Goalposts come from 4,632 observed country-years since 2000. Coverage: 193 countries · 4,632 observed country-years · 193 carried forward (max 5 years) · last year with ≥100 countries observed: 2023. Open any country row below to see this calculation applied to its value.
