Public health indicators are a set of indicators that provide evidence of the health and well-being of the population. Regional public health indicators have been published annually since 2016, and for the second time, public health indicators are published for the most populous municipalities. Public Health Indicators aim to facilitate the government and others' analysis of the situation, identification of strengths and challenges, and understanding of the population's needs so that it is possible to work systematically to improve health and well-being at all stages of life.
