Our 284^th profile is the Care Register for Health Care, a continuation of the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register (FHDR). One of the oldest individual level hospital discharge registers covering all of Finland, the Care Register covers data from 1969 to present and has more comprehensive data on the use of services and service users than the original FHDR.

From our 38^th country, read about the Namibia National Cancer Registry (NNCR) which started in 1995 by collecting all cancer cases from 1969 to 1994 reported to the Windhoek state pathology laboratory - the single existing private pathology laboratory. From 1995 onwards, NNCR commenced active registration of both pathology-based and clinical cases for four sentinel regions.
