Okno Group's periodic review of policy issues in the
environmental and health-care sectors of the east European region.

While our other publications are on a break, let Okno's free web publication keep you informed about important policy developments in your sector. Each issue presents:

• one main feature story on policy in the environmental or health-care sectors, and
• an informative data section with relevant sector data.
• Some issues also contain shorter policy briefs on other topics of importance.

All of the articles and data featured in the Observer meet the same high standards our readers have come to expect from our other print and electronic publications.
