Data sets

European Health for All database (HFA-DB)

Since the mid-1980s, Member States of the WHO European Region have been reporting essential health-related statistics to the Health for All (HFA) family of databases, making it one of WHO’s oldest sources of data. As it is based on reported data, rather than estimates, the HFA family of databases is also particularly valuable.

Environment and Health Information System (ENHIS)

ENHIS is an evidence-based information system aiming to support public health and environmental policies in the WHO European Region. The system is an interactive database, composed of country-level indicators and regional assessments (fact sheets).

European database on human and technical resources for health (HlthRes-DB)

HlthRes-DB provides a wide range of statistics on human and technical resources for health and offers data on non-monetary health care resources collected through the joint work of the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and WHO/Europe.

Financial protection in the European Region

Monitoring financial protection in the European Region in the context of universal health coverage.

European mortality database (MDB)

European mortality database allows age- and sex-specific analysis of mortality trends by broad disease-groups, as well as dis-aggregated to 67 specific causes of death. Data reach back to 1980.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCD) dashboard

The noncommunicable diseases (NCD) dashboard provides data on key NCD risk factors and public health policy responses, allowing for assessing and comparing progress among the 53 Member States of the WHO European Region.
