This is great! Nice job balancing data with explanations. Health data is often oversimplified or not understandable by lay people.

For the cancer section, I'm pretty sure you're showing net survival rates. You should mention this to avoid people from thinking they're actual survival rates.

In the last two charts on the cancer page, what does the circle size show? Total GDP? Patient count?

It shows the population of the country. I agree it should be labelled.
Thank you both for flagging this. I agree it's not clear at the moment. We are doing some tweaks on the interactive charts and will make sure to include this labelling.
