Global Health Info: Excellent Site

Global Health Facts.org, a project of the Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation, provides free, up-to-date, and easily accessed data by country on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other key health and socioeconomic indicators.

The data are displayed in tables, charts, and color-coded maps and can be downloaded for custom analyses.

Data presented on the site are obtained from a variety of public and private sources, including original Kaiser Family Foundation reports. The site is updated as new data become available, and additional indicators will be added over time.

Users may sign up for free weekly e-mail alerts about new data on GlobalHealthFacts.org and its companion site, GlobalHealthReporting.org.
