`get_data`

Pack: who-gho · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/who-gho/mcp

Get World Health Organization health statistics for a country and year — life expectancy, immunization coverage, mortality, disease burden, risk factors and health system measures from the Global Health Observatory. Accepts a plain indicator name such as “measles immunization coverage” and a plain country name such as “Kenya”; both are resolved to WHO codes and the response says what it resolved to. If the requested year has no data it returns the latest year that does, and says which.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`indicator`	string	yes	Indicator NAME (“measles immunization coverage”, “life expectancy at birth”) or a GHO code (“mslv”, “WHOSIS_000001”). Names are resolved — do not invent a code.
`country`	string	no	Country NAME (“Kenya”, “United States”) or ISO3 code (“KEN”, “USA”).
`year`	string	no	Year, e.g. “2020”. If that year has no data the latest available year is returned instead, flagged as year_fallback.
