Publication synopsis The EPHA Secretariat, with two decades of expertise in advocating for better health for everyone living in Europe, on 14 October launched 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 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.
EPHA (Aisbl) is the European Platform bringing together public health organisations representing health professionals, patients groups, health promotion and disease specific NGOs, academic groupings and other health associations.
