Public Health Indicators 2023

Public Health Indicators are a collection of indicators intended to give clues as to the health and well-being of the population. Public health Indicators by health regions have been published annually since 2016 and now, for the first time, Public Health Indicators will be published for the nine largest municipalities. Public Health Indicators aim to facilitate local authorities, Health Promoting Communities, health services, and others to analyze the situation in their districts, identify strengths and challenges, and assess the population's needs so that it is possible to work systematically to improve health and wellbeing.
