Statistics on the promotion of welfare and health

The Sotkanet statistical database contains comprehensive statistical information and indicators, for example on the welfare and health of the population. The online service provides long time series of the entire country by region and municipality.

Apart from information provided by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, the service includes information from Statistics Finland and the Social Insurance Institution. The service also includes key information on the population and health of European countries.
