Country Health Profiles use the latest WHO data (2009). World Health Organization Data includes projections and is more current than individual country data that can take more than two years to compile. These projections are developed through in depth consultations with each member country before it is released. All "world data" complies with ICD-10 standards and without these standards and methods cross national comparisons could not be made.
