Finnish municipalities

The SOTKAnet Indicator Bank is a National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) information service that offers key population welfare and health data from 1990 onwards on all Finnish municipalities, based on the current administrative division into municipalities. It allows the user to search for indicator data concerning different geographical areas in absolute numbers and percentages. SotkaNET database (THL) provides data on demographic variables and healthcare provision at regional level as well as epidemiological key themes (e.g. life expectancy, mortality, cancer incidence, self-reported health). A large selection of indicators are available and calculated according to regional (e.g. hospital districts, municipalities) entities and in time-series. Dataset includes data on: - frequency of consultations of primary care physicians and other personnel - hospital discharges and bed-days - the use of long-term care including average length of stay - health care costs (total) divided by specialised and primary care - population characteristics (incl living conditions, habits and some aggregated socioeconomic variables)
