N/A

According to the strategic plan adopted by EPHA members, our current policy priorities include:

- Right to Health and reduction of health inequalities
- Action on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
- Prevention of chronic diseases (action on food, drink, tobacco, pollutants, etc.)
- Universal access to affordable medicines
- EU trade policies for health - in line with the Sustainable Development Goals

In all of EPHA's work we mainstream the following concerns: strengthening and sustainability of European health systems, investing in health and the health workforce, a lifecourse approach (from infancy to old age), parity for mental health, prevention of health threats - both infectious and non-communicable diseases.

[Please note that some of the Expert Groups mentioned above are currently inactive or have recently been disbanded.]

In addition to the groups mentioned above, EPHA is an active member of the DG Sante Health Policy Platform and the European Medicines Agency's Patient and Consumer Working Party.

In line with the priorities above, EPHA engages with European policy dialogue in several policy areas which impact on public health, including:

Health inequalities (economic, employment, social, education and industrial policies, including issues affecting patient access and health workforce)
Food and nutrition, including agricultural policies, industrial policies affecting the food and drinks sectors, etc.
Tobacco control
Alcohol
Sexual and reproductive health and rights
Mental health
Patients rights and safety, especially in relation to AMR.
Health workforce
Pharmaceutical policy
Health systems - investment, sustainability and resilience
Global health and Sustainable Development Goals
EU trade policies
European Semester recommendations as regard public health
Planetary health, including e.g. climate change and air quality impacts on public health
