IHME

2022

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent population health research center at UW Medicine, part of the University of Washington, that provides measurement of the world's health problems and evaluates the strategies used to address them. IHME makes this information freely available so that policymakers have the evidence they need to make informed decisions about how to allocate resources to improve population health.

Publicly available resources include country profiles, data visualizations and interactives, policy reports, research articles, infographics, presentations and several databases, including searchable data from the Global Burden of Disease Study using the GBD Results Tool.

The country profiles provide an overview of findings from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD). They are based on over 80,000 different data sources used by researchers to produce the most scientifically rigorous estimates possible. Estimates from the GBD study may differ from national statistics due to differences in data sources and methodology. These profiles are meant to be freely downloaded and distributed.
