Introduction
Health at a Glance: Europe 2010 presents key indicators of health and health systems in 31 European countries, including the 27 European Union member states, three EFTA countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland), and Turkey. It builds on the format used in the OECD’s previous editions of Health at a Glance to provide comparable information on important public health issues in Europe. The indicators have been selected on the basis of the European Community Health Indicators (ECHI) shortlist (European Commission, 2010a; ECHIM, 2010). However, in some instances, this report deviates from the formal ECHI definitions because of issues related to data availability and comparability. Detailed information is also provided in this publication on health expenditure and financing trends, based on the OECD’s long-standing data collection in this area. All indicators are presented in the form of easy-to-read figures and explanatory text.
