Public Health Indicators are a set of measures that offer insights into the health and well-being of the population and related factors. The publication of public health indicators at the national level and by health district has been an annual event since 2016. For the third time, public health indicators will also be published for the most populous municipalities. These indicators aim to assist health services and municipalities, including health-promoting communities like Ísafjarðarbær, in analyzing the situation in their district, identifying strengths and challenges, and assessing needs. This enables targeted efforts to improve the health and well-being of all residents.
