Data across Countries

Select households or facilities to view the data (see videos below).  Notes are provided on the last tab  to assist in understanding the data.  All prices are in US dollars.

Please note that insulins are indentified by their INN (International Nonproprietary Name). This name identifies the unique pharmaceutical substances or active pharmaceutical ingredients in a product.  In the case of insulin, the INN refers to the type of insulin, not the brand. For example, Novolin R and Humulin R are both brand names for regular insulin.

The user videos below will help to navigate the Data across Countries Overview for:

1. Households
2. Facilities

To navigate between the videos, select on the titles below the videos.


Country Dashboards

Within each country page, you can choose to view either the household or facilities dashboards.

Across all Dashboards: Country data is displayed by data collection period/year. To view the data you must first select the data collection period.  If you don’t select the data collection period you will not see data.

You can also view data across regions, or per region (see example in video below).


  • The household dashboard provides an overview of information obtained from speaking to people who use insulin (type 1 and type 2 diabetes) in selected regions across a country.
  • The facilites dashboard provides an overview of  information obtained in speaking with selected facilities (health centers, pharmacies, etc.) in the public and private sector. In the facilities dashboard, you must select your sector (s)  to get a better understanding of the data (see video below).

The user videos below will help to navigate the following:

Video 1– Selecting a Data Collection Period and Sector:  This video shows you how to select a data collection period  and facility sectors. Only one data collection period and one sector should be selected at a time to give a better understanding of the findings.

Note: In some countries, two public (government) sectors are listed (e.g. Peru), or more than one private sector (e.g. private pharmacies and private hospitals). In these cases, the data can be viewed either in combination (so selecting both public or private sectors togehter) or individually. 

Video 2 – Converting Currency from Local to USD:  Across both the household and facilities dashboards, the default currency is the local currency. You can convert the currency to USD by using the icon on the upper right hand of the price graphs. You can see how to do this in the second video.

To navigate between the videos, select on the titles below the videos.
