Abstract
The tables in this statistical annex present information on population health in WHO Member States and regions for the year 2003 (Annex Tables 1, 2a and 2b), under-five and neonatal causes of deaths for 2000-2003 (Annex Tables 3 and 4), selected national health accounts aggregates for 1998-2002 (Annex Tables 5 and 6), and selected indicators related to reproductive, maternal and newborn health (Annex Tables 7 and 8). These notes provide an overview of concepts, methods and data sources, together with references to more detailed documentation. It is hoped that careful scrutiny and use of the results will lead to progressively better measurement of core indicators of population health and health system financing.
