DALE: Disability adjusted life expectancy (life lived in good health)
Child survival: survival to age 2, with a disparities component
Overall health: DALE minus DALE in absence of a health system
Maximum DALE for health expenditures
minus same in absence of a health system


For indicators used by the World Health Organization, countries with poor primary care rank worse. This is especially true for child survival (until age 2), for which the poor primary care countries have much poorer rankings and the best primary care countries have the overall best rankings.
