AbstractThe World Bank Group welcomes the publication of the new Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD). The Bank commissioned the first GBD in 1990, and continues to make extensive use of this signal contribution to global health. Like its predecessors, the new, methodologically updated GBD 2010 marks a milestone in global health knowledge and our capacity for evidence-based action. It will once again set the terms of health policy, planning, and funding discussions for years to come.
