Compartive Vietnam Health Indicators - Regional & Global

List,
Does anybody know of any work that has been conducted on health indicators in Vietnam compared to those other countries in the region and globally. I know the last comprehensive WB report on this matter was released in June 2001 and am hoping for more updated numbers.
Thank you.

Hi Paul,
You might look at the Millenium Development Goals data. I know VN has
collected its own numbers and they are then transmitted to UNDP. I do
not know how frequently these numbers are updated, nor in fact how
accurate they are. But they are often used to characterize a country's
health status.
Cheers,
