The Statistics and Analytics unit aims to strengthen evidenced-based policymaking through improved availability and use of information. We also contribute to the better availability of comparative health statistics through data provision and policy work at EU and international levels.
We provide statistics to Eurostat annually as part of the Joint OECD-Eurostat-WHO questionnaire on Non-Monetary Health Care Statistics. They are generally published on the Eurostat Website before May each year.
These statistics are produced in line with the European Statistics Code of Practice.
