EuroHealthNet is a non-profit partnership of organisations, agencies and statutory bodies working to contribute to a healthier Europe by promoting health and health equity between and within European countries. EuroHealthNet achieves this through its partnership framework by supporting members’ work in EU and associated states through policy and project development, networking and communications. The network’s office has been located in Brussels since 1996 and staff members are experienced in engaging with the EU institutions, decision makers and a large number of stakeholders from public authorities, civil society, the corporate sector and academia. EuroHealthNet has connections with national and regional governments, as well as with the European institutions, and therefore a good understanding of how evidence and information on health equity can be introduced in current policy making agendas.
The secretariat of around ten staff is based in Brussels and supports the partnership, which operates in three closely interlinked pillars:
- Health Promotion Europe (HPE)
- The European Platform for Action on Health and Social Equity (PHASE)
- The European Centre for Innovation, Research and Implementation for Health and Well-Being (CIRI).
