The Kaiser Family Foundation has recently expanded GlobalHealthFacts.org to include 40 new data indicators that can be easily displayed in tables, charts, and color-coded maps and downloaded for custom analyses. It's a great resource for the global health community - which relies on information for, well, just about everything - and I strongly encourage you to check out the new and improved site. Even better, Kaiser welcomes suggestions for future additions as well; personally, I would love to see the eventual inclusion of DTP3 coverage rates, which are widely used as a proxy for health system strength (as discussed in our recent report, Measuring Commitment to Health).
