      abstract     = {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, Injuries, 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, as well as subnational
                      locations in seven countries, from 1990 to 2016.Drawing from
                      established methods and updated estimates from GBD 2016, we
                      used 32 causes from which death should not occur in the
                      presence of effective care to approximate personal
                      health-care access and quality by location and over time. To
                      better isolate potential effects of personal health-care
                      access and quality from underlying risk factor patterns, we
                      risk-standardised cause-specific deaths due to non-cancers
                      by location-year, replacing the local joint exposure of
                      environmental and behavioural risks with the global level of
                      exposure. Supported by the expansion of cancer registry data
                      in GBD 2016, we used mortality-to-incidence ratios for
                      cancers instead of risk-standardised death rates to provide
                      a stronger signal of the effects of personal health care and
                      access on cancer survival. We transformed each cause to a
                      scale of 0-100, with 0 as the first percentile (worst)
                      observed between 1990 and 2016, and 100 as the 99th
                      percentile (best); we set these thresholds at the country
                      level, and then applied them to subnational locations. We
                      applied a principal components analysis to construct the HAQ
                      Index using all scaled cause values, providing an overall
                      score of 0-100 of personal health-care access and quality by
                      location over time. We then compared HAQ Index levels and
                      trends by quintiles on the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a
                      summary measure of overall development. As derived from the
                      broader GBD study and other data sources, we examined
                      relationships between national HAQ Index scores and
                      potential correlates of performance, such as total health
                      spending per capita.In 2016, HAQ Index performance spanned
                      from a high of 97·1 $(95\%$ UI 95·8-98·1) in Iceland,
                      followed by 96·6 (94·9-97·9) in Norway and 96·1
                      (94·5-97·3) in the Netherlands, to values as low as 18·6
                      (13·1-24·4) in the Central African Republic, 19·0
                      (14·3-23·7) in Somalia, and 23·4 (20·2-26·8) in
                      Guinea-Bissau. The pace of progress achieved between 1990
                      and 2016 varied, with markedly faster improvements occurring
                      between 2000 and 2016 for many countries in sub-Saharan
                      Africa and southeast Asia, whereas several countries in
                      Latin America and elsewhere saw progress stagnate after
                      experiencing considerable advances in the HAQ Index between
                      1990 and 2000. Striking subnational disparities emerged in
                      personal health-care access and quality, with China and
                      India having particularly large gaps between locations with
                      the highest and lowest scores in 2016. In China, performance
                      ranged from 91·5 (89·1-93·6) in Beijing to 48·0
                      (43·4-53·2) in Tibet (a 43·5-point difference), while
                      India saw a 30·8-point disparity, from 64·8 (59·6-68·8)
                      in Goa to 34·0 (30·3-38·1) in Assam. Japan recorded the
                      smallest range in subnational HAQ performance in 2016 (a
                      4·8-point difference), whereas differences between
                      subnational locations with the highest and lowest HAQ Index
                      values were more than two times as high for the USA and
                      three times as high for England. State-level gaps in the HAQ
                      Index in Mexico somewhat narrowed from 1990 to 2016 (from a
                      20·9-point to 17·0-point difference), whereas in Brazil,
                      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, with high and high-middle SDI countries
                      generally having higher scores and faster gains for
                      non-communicable diseases. Nonetheless, countries across the
                      development spectrum saw substantial gains in some key
                      health service areas from 2000 to 2016, most notably
                      vaccine-preventable diseases. Overall, national performance
                      on the HAQ Index was positively associated with higher
                      levels of total health spending per capita, as well as
                      health systems inputs, but these relationships were quite
                      heterogeneous, particularly among low-to-middle SDI
                      countries.GBD 2016 provides a more detailed understanding of
                      past success and current challenges in improving personal
                      health-care access and quality worldwide. Despite
                      substantial gains since 2000, many low-SDI and middle-SDI
                      countries face considerable challenges unless heightened
                      policy action and investments focus on advancing access to
                      and quality of health care across key health services,
                      especially non-communicable diseases. Stagnating or minimal
                      improvements experienced by several low-middle to
                      high-middle SDI countries could reflect the complexities of
                      re-orienting both primary and secondary health-care services
                      beyond the more limited foci of the Millennium Development
                      Goals. Alongside initiatives to strengthen public health
                      programmes, the pursuit of universal health coverage hinges
                      upon improving both access and quality worldwide, and thus
                      requires adopting a more comprehensive view-and subsequent
                      provision-of quality health care for all populations.Bill
