WHO
has long-standing experience and expertise in working in the
area of health indicators. In the area of health and human
rights, current work on indicators is focusing on:
-
developing
indicators to measure the realization of the right to the
highest attainable standard of health
-
developing
indicators for a rights-based approach to health- generic as
well as within specific program areas, such as reproductive
rights.
-
supporting
WHO’s work in the area of developing indicators to measure
the performance of health systems, in areas which have a
link with human rights norms and principles, particularly
the measurement of health systems responsiveness.
In
September 4-8, 2000, WHO participated in, and organized
a panel discussion on health and human
rights indicators at, the Conference of the
International Association for Official Statistics (IAOS) on "Statistics,
