We expect that we will make use of many of a GBD analyses, and that others will change serve investigate and systematic discuss towards improving tellurian health estimates.

Improving health information systems

The genuine need is to urge a correctness of tellurian health information so that we no longer have to rest so most on statistical modelling to guess a illness burden.
