Chronic diseases, obesity, air pollution – What can we do against the NCD epidemic post 2020?

Following an event building public health capacity in Hungary in October 2012, an event organised by the Hungarian Permanent representation, supported by EPHA in Brussels about trans-fats in April 2016 and an EPHA delegation visit to Hungary in October 2016, this time EPHA joined forces with its Hungarian member the Hungarian Alliance of Patients Organisations as well as the National Patient Forum to organise an open debate and roundtable for patients and healthcare professionals and other sector representatives interested in discussing the new Hungarian Public Health Strategy.

Aims of the event

To have a constructive discussion about what are the implications of key public health challenges (such as Chronic diseases including rare diseases and mental health, antimicrobial resistance etc.) both in Hungary and Europe in light of commercial determinants of health. The examples of air pollution and obesity will be presented as case studies.

To identify jointly the contribution and added value of health civil community and Hungarian patient organizations can offer.
