IHME's catalog of population health data: Global Burden of Disease estimates, surveys, and vital statistics. Good for grounding country-level health comparisons.

GHDx is built around IHME's Global Burden of Disease framework, which lets a notebook compare disease and injury burden across countries and years on one consistent metric instead of mismatched national statistics. It's a strong source for country-level health comparison questions. The GBD numbers themselves are modeled estimates, not raw counts, so they carry their own margin of uncertainty.

## Import into Gemini Notebook

1. Copy the link: https://ghdx.healthdata.org
2. In your notebook, click Add source → Website.
3. Paste the link and confirm — several links can be pasted at once, one per line.

**Tip:** These sources mix journal PDFs, dataset docs and institutional reports — the PDF or article page imports far better than a paywalled landing page.
