Digital Health
A holistic and socially-inclusive approach to the use of technology in public health is possible. EPHA works to ensure that digital tools are inclusive and integrated into current health systems, rather than being used to replace them.
We advocate for a continuity of care in a cross-border Europe and for the strengthening of digital health literacy skills, in order to ensure better access to healthcare for all.
