The UNIPHE project is aimed at developing a harmonised system of core set of environment health indicators to monitor and report health status of populations at a sub-national level. This will enable regional assessments of the health status of populations within Europe. The UNIPHE project is co-financed by the European Commission - DG Sanco (Grant Agreement No 2008 13 04), co-ordinated by Health Protection Agency, UK and involves partner institutions from 6 other European countries
