Infant mortality is expressed as the numbers of deaths in infants under the age of 1 year, per 1000 live births, in a given year. It is a basic indicator for population health, primarily pointing at the quality of perinatal and infant care.
The data have been delivered by the ISARE project (health indicators in the regions of Europe) in the frame of the project’s own data collection process. This information is included here as an example of presenting results of Public Health Programme projects in EUPHIX.

An EU project. The first phase, ISARE I (1999-2001) defined the most appropriate sub-national level (\'health region\') for the exchange of health indicators within the European Union and enabled the assessment of the extent of data availability at those levels. The second phase, ISARE II (2002-2004), made it possible to test the feasibility of collecting regional data in each European country. www.isare.org
