Health of the Population

Bild Gesundheit der Bevölkerung

Population health is the beginning and end of health care strategies and measures. Obsan provides information in comprehensive or thematic health reports at national or cantonal level. The Obsan website contains over 150 indicators, the majority of which focus on population health. This is because the Federal Office of Public Health’s indicators on addiction and non-communicative diseases (MonAM monitoring system) are also incorporated into Obsan’s website.
