82% of LAC Health's downloads (106,442 of 129,943) come from a single country report — Invertir en una Longevidad Saludable, Inclusiva y Productiva: Una Prioridad para Colombia — and 95% of that report's downloads are from within Colombia.
Most of the LAC Health total therefore reflects one country-specific report rather than many publications read across the region. Setting it aside, the practice's other 17 publications total 23,501 (~1,382 downloads/publication).

Sources. Downloads are read from both World Bank repositories — WB Documents (documentos.bancomundial.org) and the Open Knowledge Repository (openknowledge.worldbank.org) — and summed across every language version of each publication.
Window. Publications with a document date in 2024–2026. Reader geography is from WB Documents (~99% of its downloads are geo-located; OKR downloads are not). “United States & high-income” is the World Bank's residual region grouping, here almost entirely the United States.
LAC Education is shown on its full reconciled basis (218,776 / 37 publications), including items recovered from the team's work-program list. Health & Social Protection are counted from the document database only and may be missing some publications the same way — treat them as lower bounds. The full LAC Education list is on the LAC Education team page.
