Within the 蜂鸟电竞在线入口, most of the work on health is carried out by the Health Division of the Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs.  Our mission – advising policy makers and informing public and private stakeholders and citizens on how to address demands for more and better quality health care – is particularly important with public budgets under strain. We develop reliable statistics of health system performance and help countries benchmark their policies against high-performing health systems.
