Resumen del texto publicado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud:
The WHO European Centre for Environment and Health (ECEH), Bonn Office, is maintaining the Environment and Health Information System (ENHIS) to support policy actions to reduce the burden of environmentally mediated diseases. At this meeting, experts from 35 countries of WHO European Region and three international institutions defined the minimum set of indicators for monitoring the commitments to reduce health effects of environmental hazards in children which were adopted at the Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in Parma, Italy. Using a set of pre-defined criteria, such as public health impact, feasibility, interpretability, data comparability and sustainability of data collection efforts, the meeting selected 18 environmental health indicators addressing five time-bound Parma conference commitments. The meeting also set schedules for the development of indicator methodologies, data collection protocols and implementation of these indicators in ENHIS, and specified communication mechanisms with the European Environment and Health Process.
