Measuring World Health

More or Less

Available for over a year

Babies born in Rwanda are likely to live healthier lives than those in the most deprived 10% of England, according to recent reports. But does the data back this up? And how is "good health" measured across the world? Hannah Moore and Wesley Stephenson explore the numbers with professor David Gordon from Bristol University’s International Poverty Research Centre.
