EPHA SGA-2017

ended

EPHA’s annual work programme for 2017 is based on our multiannual work programme prepared for 2015-2017. EPHA’s activities will continue to be relevant to all four objectives of the 3rd Health Programme. This proposal for the third year of activities builds on those undertaken during 2015 and 2016 and continues implementation of EPHA’s 2016-2020 Strategic Plan. The problem analysis and evidence base presented for the FPA and SGA 2015 remain valid. EPHA's mission, vision and values are enshrined in our Statutes and remain unchanged. EPHA’s overarching objective for 2016-2020 remains: To promote good health and wellbeing, to reduce disease and health inequalities in European policies and programmes. In addition to our selected policy campaigns which are now up and running effectively, in 2017 we aim to step up our horizontal public health activities. This is intended to fulfill two objectives: firstly to increase cooperation with the WHO as we have been invited to enter into Official Relations status for 2017-2020. Secondly, we seek to pull our work packages and members together with a compelling, overarching narrative for European public health action.
