Environment and Health Information System (ENHIS)

Environment and Health Information System (ENHIS)

ENHIS is an evidence-based information system aiming to support public health and environmental policies in the WHO European Region. It produces indicator-based assessments of recognized environment and health priorities for the European Region as a series of comprehensive standardized fact sheets.

ENHIS fact sheets address the four Regional Priority Goals (RPG) identified and reaffirmed by the latest Ministerial Conferences on Environment and Health:

  • ensuring public health by improving access to safe water and sanitation (RPG 1);
  • addressing obesity and injuries through safe environments, physical activity and healthy diet (RPG 2);
  • preventing disease through improved outdoor and indoor air quality (RPG 3);
  • preventing disease arising from chemical, biological and physical environments (RPG 4).
