Abstract

• Proposes the Burden of Missed Care (BMC) as a novel health planning metric. • BMC quantifies gains from optimal use of all existing effective health care. • Integrates with Global Burden of Disease metrics using YLLs, YLDs, and DALYs. • The GBMC framework ranks interventions by their potential to close health gaps. • Aims to improve resource allocation, policy accountability, and R&D focus.
