The document discusses Europe's Health 2020 policy and its goals of emphasizing health, well-being, and universal access to care. It outlines the policy's overarching goals of reducing premature mortality and increasing life expectancy in Europe by 2020. It also discusses establishing a single integrated health information system for the 53 European member states to help monitor progress on key indicators and reduce reporting burdens, though acknowledges challenges in achieving this given limitations in health data availability across the region.

General comments on the accuracy and coverage of the GEO data: Socioeconomic crises, civil war, significant numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs), increased unemployment and intensive migration observed since the 1990s in Georgia have all had a negative impact on the population ’s health status, but have also made it challenging to accurately determine basic mortality and morbidity statistics, particularly as the basic denominator (population size) is disputed. Two administrative-territorial units (Abkhazia and South Ossetia/Tskhinvali region) are beyond the jurisdiction of the Georgian authorities, and are currently under the control of CIS peacekeeping force consisting of Russian troops. As a result of conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia there were 300 000 IDPs before the conflicts escalated once more in August 2008, creating an estimated 128 000 more IDPs in Georgia. Since 1992-1994 the data from Abkhasia and Tzkhinvali (South Osetia) regions are not included in national mortality and other health-related statistics. Population figures, that were used as denominators for calculation of mortality rates and other indicators in HFA-DB, have been adjusted taking into account non-reporting regions and migration. However, they still may be significantly biased and the interpretation of mortality-based and majority of other indicators for Georgia during and after 1990s should be made with caution keeping in mind relatively low accuracy of raw data used for both, numerator and denominator (source HFA, notes for indicator (0010, mid year population) definitions).

A sub-group of the Standing Committee of the Regional Committee has reviewed possible targets, and the full Committee reviewed these recently. These are the six tragets that will be proposwed to the Regional Committee. In each case some content and quantification will be suggested. Reduce premature mortality in Europe by 2020 2.Increase life expectancy in Europe 3.Reduce inequities in health in Europe (social determinants target) 4. Enhance well-being of the European population (to be further elaborated during 2012/13) 5. Universal coverage and “ right to health ” 6. Member States set national targets/goals I do not have time to go into detail here, but I hope that I have illustrated our appraoch.
