Working towards better health for all in Europe.
Healthy Environments
Transforming the food system and preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) for human well-being and planetary health.
Health Inequalities
Stand against discrimination, for inclusion and equal opportunities for all to live, work and age in sustainable, healthy environments.
Healthcare Delivery
We stand for transparency, accountability and the public interest in pharmaceuticals – and better access to better medicines for all.
Health Systems and Economy
Trade for health, not health for trade! A progressive trade policy that works for the public good is possible and achievable.
Global Public Health
AMR is threatening human and animal health as well as the environment. The consequences of inaction are too grave to contemplate.
Digital Transformation
Digital health has the power to revolutionise healthcare and tackle health inequalities – done wrong, it could exacerbate social and gender equity issues.
