"When things are going bad in the health system, we are reassured we’ve got one
of the best health systems in the world. But we’re rarely told where we
actually stand relative to others.

A new report from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) shows where Australia is doing relatively well – and not so well. The
report is more than 200 pages with dozens of charts and tables.

Here we highlight five charts showing Australia’s relative performance.
Overall, Australia’s health system performs well, but can come after long
waits. And our use of antibiotics is trending in the wrong direction."
