Abstract
An expert meeting was held in Utrecht in June 2012 to provide advice to the WHO Regional Office forEurope on the selection of indicators to enable monitoring of progress towards the six overarching Health2020 targets. The expert group was asked to advise on a “menu” of indicators that are widely availableamong European Member States and that permit the monitoring of progress towards achievement of theHealth 2020 targets; specifically to advise on developing a set of indicators to monitor progress towards areduction in inequalities and an enhancement of well-being; to propose a process and action plan bywhich the Regional Office may best use indicators to monitor progress towards the Health 2020 targets;and to advise on how to support further harmonization and improvement of the quality and availability ofexisting European health indicator sets in a sustainable way. A summary of the deliberations will bepresented to Member States for discussion at the Regional Committee’s sixty-second session in Malta inSeptember 2012.
