GBD – Global Burden of Disease Studie

The framework of GBD was jointly developed by the WHO, the World Bank and the Harvard School of Public Health in the early 1990s with the aim to permit a first comprehensive and comparable evaluation of population health for all countries of the world. The possibility to compare disease burden over time and between countries provides valuable insights into intervention successes, failures as well as unfinished agendas and can also highlight emerging health threats.

NoDARS – Northern Dimension Antibiotic Resistance Study

The NoDARS project is designed to provide health-care professionals, authorities and policy makers with comparable data that accurately reflect antibiotic resistance levels and the penetration of antibiotic resistance in the healthy population. The project aims to investigate the levels of specified antimicrobial resistance at the selected locations in Finland, Germany, Latvia, Norway, Sweden, Poland and Russia in several separate work packages.
