Public Health Indicators is a collection of metrics that reflect the nation's health and well-being and related factors. The publication of public health indicators at the national level and by healthcare district has been an annual event since 2016, and in recent years, public health indicators have also been released for the most populous municipalities. The purpose of the Public Health Indicators is to make it easier for healthcare services, municipalities, including health-promoting communities, and other stakeholders to analyze the situation in their area, identify strengths and challenges, and assess residents' needs, so that work can be carried out in a targeted manner to improve the health and well-being of all.
