Regional Core Health Data Initiative
The Regional Core Health Data and Country Profiles Initiative was launched by PAHO in 1995 to monitor the attainment of health goals and their compliance with the mandates of PAHO Member States. This information platform on the health situation and trends of the countries of the Americas is a collective effort of PAHO and its Member States through country offices, technical departments, and units. It is coordinated by the Health Information and Analysis Unit.
