Hebrew translation:מדד עומס התחלואה
Explanation:
Although Tzvia answer is also correct, in my opinion the more accurate translation is this. If you will look at the references you will see that DALY is a measure of disease burden. Tzvia's answer explaom one aspect of that measure, but to my best knowledge it means the overall burden due to death and disability.
