Monetary Value of DALYs Lost in Mauritius, 2019

Mauritius data from 2019 used to estimate the monetary value of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost from all causes. The dataset combines DALYs by cause from the Global Burden of Disease Study, GDP per capita from the IMF, and health expenditure per capita from the WHO. It was compiled by author Laurent Musango.

Use Cases

• Estimating the economic cost of disease burden in Mauritius based on DALY and GDP data.
• Analyzing the relationship between health expenditure and net economic output per capita.
• Comparing the monetary value of DALYs across different disease causes for Mauritius in 2019.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from authoritative institutions: the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Health Organization (WHO).
• Focuses on a specific country (Mauritius) and year (2019), providing a clear scope for analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Data is limited to a single country and year, which may limit broader comparative analyses.
