Findings will be endorsed by the Ministry of Health or the highest public health authority of the country in question.
The project started in January 2010 and the data collected from each country will be included in a database by the end of October. A final report including main findings, suggestions and recommendations for future actions will be submitted to the European Commission in 2011.
