Belgium: UHC service coverage sub-index on infectious diseases

Key figures

What the numbers say

From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

How it compares

In 2023, Belgium had the 23rd highest value of the 193 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

What this measures

UHC service coverage sub-index on infectious diseases is based on four tracer indicators: (i) Tuberculosis, (ii) HIV/AIDS (iii) Malaria (iv) Water, sanitation and hygiene. It is presented on a scale of 0 to 100 index points and is one of the four sub-indexes underlying the overall UHC service coverage index.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
