Implication

Systematic analysis measures healthcare access and quality, highlighting global disparities and challenges.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate healthcare access and quality across 195 countries and territories using the HAQ Index from 1990 to 2016.
  • Utilized data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016.
  • Assessed healthcare access and quality at both country and subnational levels.
  • Analyzed trends in healthcare access and quality over a 26-year period.
  • Substantial progress in healthcare access and quality was observed since 2000; however, challenges remain, especially in low-SDI and middle-SDI countries.
  • Minimal improvements in several countries suggest the need for enhanced policy actions and investments.
  • Sustained efforts are required to address non-communicable diseases and improve health services across various regions.
