The ICEH Repository brings together a wide range of health-related indicators derived from population-representative household surveys, with a particular focus on monitoring health inequalities within and across countries. These indicators are organized into thematic groups that reflect major areas of global health, such as immunization, reproductive and maternal health, infant and young child feeding, nutrition, water and sanitation, gender, mortality, and fertility.
This page provides an overview of the main groups of indicators available in the ICEH Repository, highlighting the types of health practices, outcomes, and services captured within each theme. Rather than listing individual indicators, the descriptions contextualize each group by outlining its relevance for population health and equity analyses, the key dimensions typically examined, and the policy questions that these indicators are commonly used to address.
All indicators described on this page are available through the ICEH Retriever, where users can access ready-to-use, equity-disaggregated estimates across countries, survey years, and population subgroups. By presenting the indicator groups in a single, structured entry point, this page is intended to help users quickly identify whether data relevant to their research or policy needs are available, and to guide them efficiently toward detailed, comparable estimates within the ICEH analytical platform. Please note that the complete definitions, including numerator, denominator, stratifications, availability and more, are available in the indicator definions spreadsheet.
