Flemish Public Health Agency

The Flemish government's Agency for Care and Health ('Agentschap Zorg en Gezondheid') is responsible for safeguarding the health and well-being of more than six million Flemish people. The agency contributes to a sufficient and high-quality supply of care in home care, care for the elderly, hospitals, rehabilitation, mental health care and palliative care and it develops policy to help live more healthy.

VITO worked on the development of the Environmental Health Impact Simulator (E-HIS) for the Care and Health Agency (AZG), which assesses the health impact and economic costs of air and noise pollution in Flanders.
