Background A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases

and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess personal health-care access and quality with the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) Index for 195 countries and territories
and then applied them to subnational locations. We applied a principal components analysis to construct the HAQ Index using all scaled cause values
and thus requires adopting a more comprehensive view—and subsequent provision—of quality health care for all populations
as well as health systems inputs
as well as subnational locations in seven countries
but these relationships were quite heterogeneous
countries across the development spectrum saw substantial gains in some key health service areas from 2000 to 2016
disparities slightly increased across states during this time (a 17·2-point to 20·4-point difference). Performance on the HAQ Index showed strong linkages to overall development
