Timetable for the project and future data production

The National Health Index project will be carried out between 1 August 2021 and 31 May 2023 with funding from THL and Kela. 

Alongside experts from Kela and THL, the project steering group will includes experts from the Finnish Centre for Pensions and Statistics Finland, who will participate in the development of index data production. Experts from other organisations will also be consulted. The project will ensure future access to regularly updated, reliable index data in an open online service for municipalities, wellbeing services counties and national use. 

The aim is that first results of the National Health Index will be published by the end of 2022. The aim is also to update the data annually. Research based development of data production will continue with the aim of describing differences between population subgroups, such as socioeconomic differences.
