How many are the major indicators of health care?

There are several major indicators of health care, but the exact number can vary depending on the source. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) identifies five key indicators:

1. Life expectancy at birth: This is the average number of years a newborn is expected to live if current mortality rates continue to apply.

2. Under-five mortality rate: This is the probability per 1,000 that a newborn baby will die before reaching age five, if subject to current age-specific mortality rates.

3. Maternal mortality ratio: The number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes while pregnant or within 42 days of pregnancy termination per 100,000 live births.

4. Incidence of HIV: The number of new HIV infections among uninfected population over a given period.

5. Incidence of malaria: The number of new malaria cases in a population over a given period.

These indicators provide a snapshot of the health status of a population and the quality of the health care system in place.
