| Summary: | In this paper the year 2000 report from the World Health Organization is discussed and the methodology for comparing and classifying the performance of the health systems of the 191 member countries is analyzed. The main conclusions refer to the use of methodologies which are scientifically questionable, to the implementation of indicators which do not evaluate the performance of health systems but rather reveal the existing socio-economic inequalities, to the absence of necessary data for calculating the indicators in the majority of countries, and to the lack of transparency in the procedures adopted for calculating some indicators. |
