Global Burden of Disease

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) is a comprehensive study that assesses the impact of different diseases, injuries, and risk factors on health worldwide. It measures how much illness, disability, and early death affect populations. By gathering data on health trends and outcomes, GBD helps identify which health issues are most significant and where improvements are needed. This information supports governments and organizations in prioritizing healthcare resources, developing policies, and targeting interventions to improve global health and reduce inequalities effectively.
