EHMA JOINS THE "EU: DO MORE FOR HEALTH!" INITIATIVE
On Wednesday 13th September 2017, the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker will deliver the State of the European Union, an annual speech given each Sseptember before the Members of the European Parliament. The speech will draw upon the discussions on the White Paper on the Future of Europe and on feedback received from the EU stakeholders community, addressing the key EU challenges and the way forward.
EHMA, together with other 40+ European organisations, co-signed a letter to the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, asking him to reaffirm health as one of the core responsibilities of the EU in the current debate about the future of Europe. This initiative, led by the European Public Health Association and the European Patients Forum, aims to ensure a continued EU action on health, supported by a robust EU health programme under the leadership of a dedicated Directorate in the European Commission.
If you wish to know more about this initiative, please do not hesitate to contact the EHMA Secretariat and visit the campaign website to sign the petition!

NEWS FROM OUR EU PROJECTS
Within the framework of our IC-Health project, focused on improving digital health literacy in Europe, EHMA is launching a recruitment campaign targeted at Belgium-based French speaking audience. In collaboration with the UCL - Université catholique de Louvain, we are aiming at creating Communities of Practice for five specific population cohorts: children, adolescents, pregnant and lactating women, 60+ people and diabetes patients. These Communities of Practice will work together with us to co-create MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) with the objective to improve digital health literacy.
Do you know representatives of the above mentioned categories or do you belong to any of these cohorts? Are you french speaker living in Brussels or in Belgium? Then join the IC-Health Communities of Practice and support our project!
