Greece: Noncommunicable diseases (NCD) country profile
Introduction
This country profile visualizes selected Global Monitoring Framework (GMF) and Progress Monitor (PM) indicators. GMF data are taken from the Global Health Observatory (GHO) and the European health for all (HFA) database . PM indicators assess the implementation of “best buy” (recommended) policies for the governance, surveillance, prevention and management of NCD. Full names and definitions of indicators, as well as data, are given in PM 2015 and PM 2017.
