Since 1994, there has been collaboration between the Nordic Medico-Statistical Committee (NOMESCO) and the Baltic countries.

The collaboration has led to mutual understanding of how the health systems are organized in the Nordic and Baltic countries, just as our discussions have also shown the differences in the organization of tasks, including how data are traditionally registered and processed.

The report covers the following: Organization; Vital Statistics; Health and Health Care; Mortality; Resources.

Nordic/Baltic Health Statistics was published in 1998, 2001 and 2004. This is thus the fourth issue with updates and some new information in time series.
