A shared north star · 195 countries
A healthier world.
Every life counts.
Our shared horizon is zero suicide, zero needless suffering, and zero poverty. These demanding scores show how far every country remains from it. Every point should lead to work that protects real lives.
52 meaningful indicatorsWHO + World Bank sourcesSnapshot 2026-10-06
01
Zero preventable deaths
Aspirational goals include zero suicide deaths and no preventable child or maternal deaths.
02
Longer, healthier lives
Track years of life and years in full health, alongside the conditions that make them possible.
03
Less avoidable suffering
Use health-loss measures honestly and pursue dignity, care, safety, and opportunity.
The core chart
Every country.
One shared horizon.
Version 2 raises the bar: 12 foundation measures are multiplied by three zero-harm factors. Ongoing suicide, health loss, and extreme poverty each pull the score down. 100 means all measured horizons met; no country is there.

North-star progressNorth star 100Missing data ≠ zero
132 of 195 countries have sufficient recent evidence for this stricter score. At least 9 of 12 foundation measures and all three zero-harm inputs are required. Missing inputs mean no final score. Lower version-2 scores reflect a higher bar, not a decline in the source data. Health loss and extreme poverty are incomplete proxies for the broader goals. Reporting, age structures, coverage, and years differ; small differences do not establish a meaningful ranking. Inspect the weights, benchmarks and coverage rules ↗

WHO covered-country total · 2023
Sum of same-year WHO all-cause rows for 184 of 195 countries. Excludes missing countries; not WHO’s full global aggregate. These four measures overlap and must not be added. DALYs quantify health loss, not every form of suffering. An equivalent lifetime is a unit conversion, not a person saved. All-cause deaths include deaths that cannot currently be prevented; 100% is an arithmetic ceiling.

A living atlas.
A shared task list.
The purpose of these charts is to guide attention and action. A rising score matters when people can live safer, healthier, freer lives.
Choose evidence-based interventions.
Build local plans around prevention, universal care, safe environments, and decent living conditions. Track delivery, equitable access, and outcomes, alongside spending.
Measure what actually changes.
Use published evaluations and local implementation evidence before attributing lives saved to a policy or checklist. These scenario totals are a scale of ambition, not a causal estimate.
