Summary
"The atlas presents the mortality from 'avoidable' and leading causes of death in 14 CCEE [Central and Eastern European countries] in the late 1980s, i.e. before the sweeping political and socio-economic changes in this part of Europe, which were followed by a deterioration in health in many countries of the region, as reflected by a sharp reduction in life expectancy. The atlas provides the background for comparisons with more recent data and will be of interest to many information users dealing with the health status and health services in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly to health administrators at national and subnational levels." The countries covered are Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and Yugoslavia. (Excerpt)
