Product of collaboration
This website is a product of collaboration. A consortium was established to realize a website that would present unambiguous figures. They work together to reach agreement on definitions and sources for the key figures. The consortium consists of RIVM (Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu), who is the coordinator, and 7 other knowledge institutes. These cover the full domain of public health, from determinants to care.
