ECHI indicators
ECHI indicators
The European Core Health Indicators ECHI is the result of long-term cooperation between EU countries and the European Commission. Three ECHI projects funded under the EU Health Programmes established the first lists of ECHI indicators, aiming to provide comparable health information to monitor health at EU level.
