Health in Austria

Legislation on public health issues in Austria is fragmented and in some cases outdated and patchy according to the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies.[1]

There is an Austrian Public Health Association (Österreichische Gesellschaft für Public Health).

History

Infant mortality between 1960 and 2009 declined immensely in Austria.
