I2SARE Regional Health Profiles
The European project I2SARE (Health Inequalities Indicators in the Regions of Europe) was established to produce a health profile for each region of the European Union, to create a typology of those regions of Europe and a typology of sub-regional territories in selected countries and regions. These new tools produced by I2SARE will give European, national, regional and local decision makers a quick and concentrated overview about the health situation in region in comparison with other European regions.

Previous years profiles can also be accessed through this link, together with underlying indicator data.
