[EPHA Guide] The EU and Health - European Public Health Alliance
14 October, 2013 - The EPHA Secretariat, with two decades of expertise in advocating for better health for everyone living in Europe, LAUNCHED TODAY a handbook to ease the reader’s journey into the EU’s competences on public health: its legislative basis, actors, policies, funding and key upcoming developments. This guide could be used as a one-stop resource manual on how the EU deals with public health in Europe.
A gateway to help you to better make sense of the EU’s capacity in framing public health across its 28 Member States. This Guide provides a wealth of links so, whatever your area of interest is, you can further explore by visiting the right website page.
The European Union (EU) plays an important role in setting the foundations that empower people to lead a healthy, fruitful life. Whilst the 28 Member States retain autonomy over their national health policies, Brussels is able to set minimum standards through a wide range of public health instruments. However, these tools, used to steer public health in Europe, are as numerous as they are intertwined.
This guide is designed to equip the reader with two strong skills – the ability to understand the role of the EU in shaping public health across the continent; and the capacity to identify the various areas in which Brussels works to advance everyone’s well-being.
