Sex-disaggregated data along the clinical pathway, from testing through to hospitalisations and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, is essential to helping us understand who is being impacted by the epidemic and who has access to testing and health services.

At a minimum, all countries should collect and report data on COVID-19 cases and deaths broken down by sex. We assess the availability of this data in countries that are home to more than 99% of confirmed cases in the world. The amount of sex-disaggregated data however is far lower than that. Here’s how much sex-disaggregated data we’ve found.
