Health makes more sense when we explore it together.
I’m Dr. Fathima Finu, a general doctor sharing thoughtful care, practical tools, and reliable health education for the decisions people make every day.
Open data, made human-sized.
Six global snapshots show where health is improving—and where access, prevention, and fairness still need attention. Every number links to its public source and carries a reading note.
A statistic can start a question. It cannot tell your whole story.
Country, income, age, sex, access to care, and how data are collected all shape these estimates. Use them to explore—not to self-diagnose.
Global life expectancy
The World Bank world aggregate was 73.4818 years at birth in 2024.
How to read this
This period estimate applies current mortality rates; it is not a prediction of an individual's lifespan and masks major differences between populations.
Under-five mortality
An estimated 37.4 children per 1,000 live births died before reaching age five.
How to read this
This is a modelled probability rather than a simple count of registered deaths, and global aggregation conceals wide geographic inequality.
Three-dose DTP coverage
WHO and UNICEF estimates indicate that 84.78% of children in this age group received three DTP-containing vaccine doses.
How to read this
Administrative and survey estimates can differ; the global average masks zero-dose children and local coverage gaps and does not guarantee individual immunity.
Maternal mortality ratio
The inter-agency point estimate was 197 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, corresponding to about 260,000 deaths.
How to read this
This is a modelled ratio with an 80% uncertainty interval of 174–234, not a direct count or an individual risk estimate.
Essential health-service coverage
The global Universal Health Coverage Service Coverage Index reached 71 points.
How to read this
This is a unitless composite of tracer services—not the percentage of people fully covered or a measure of care quality. Its definition was revised in 2025.
Financial hardship from health spending
About 2.1 billion people experienced financial hardship linked to out-of-pocket health spending.
How to read this
The estimate uses household surveys and modelling under the revised 2025 definition and may miss people who avoid needed care because they cannot afford it.
Values are pinned, source-checked public-data snapshots rather than live feeds. Definitions and estimates can be revised by their source organisations.
Care built around clarity, not complexity.
Modern medicine can feel overwhelming. My approach is to make the next step understandable, proportionate, and personal.
Start with your story
Symptoms matter, and so does the context around them. A good visit begins by listening before narrowing the next step.
Make the plan useful
Clear explanations, realistic priorities, and practical follow-up help turn a consultation into everyday action.
Keep the conversation open
Questions are welcome. Digital tools and resources can make it easier to prepare, remember, and participate.
Science, with a pulseClinical experience, a curious mind, and a belief that patients deserve the full picture.
My background spans general medicine, critical care, outpatient visits, ward care, and multidisciplinary teamwork. Those settings taught me that better care often starts with one simple thing: making room for the right question.
