Health and healthcare indicators

Health 2020

The Czech national programme “Health 2020 – National Strategy for Health Protection and Promotion and Disease Prevention” is based on the World Health Organization (WHO) policy framework “Health 2020”, adopted at the 62nd Session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe held in September 2012. The aim of the strategy is to stabilise the system of disease prevention, health protection and promotion and to initiate efficient mechanisms to improve health of the population, sustainable in the long-term [1]. The Health 2020 programme is being implemented in a close cooperation between the Czech Ministry of Health and the WHO Country Office in the Czech Republic.

NHIS regional reporting

The Health 2020 strategy employs existing monitoring mechanisms, including health and healthcare indicators. For this purpose, a new online reporting system has been developed by the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic (IHIS CZ). The system provides a comprehensive and detailed insight into the health status of the Czech population as well as healthcare outputs in cities, regions and the country as a whole, including interactive visualisations and charts, detailed summary tables and commented analyses.
