Goals / Remit
EUREGHA is a Brussels-based network of 24 regional and local health authorities and organisations working on regional and local issues, covering more than 13 European countries. EUREGHA aims to promote collaboration amongst regions and local authorities, in Europe, within the framework of policies relating to public health and health care. EUREGHA also cooperates with the EU Institutions and with international and public organizations related to public health and health care.
EUREGHA’s vision is to ensure that the voice of local and regional health and social care authorities is represented in the EU health policy. The importance of local and regional health authorities is central, as they represent the natural interface between citizens and national and European institutions. They exert a pivotal role in improving the innovation, sustainability, efficiency and quality of health care systems and services, also in time of emergency – as demonstrated during the COVID-19 crisis.Main EU files targeted

Communication activities
EUREGHA is regularly active in communication activities related to different EU policies. Our most recent and ongoing campaign (2023-2024) is based on our Manifesto published in 2023: 'A EUREGHA MANIFESTO FOR 2024 AND BEYOND: Building the future of European health and care with regional and local health authorities at the centre'. The manifesto (https://www.euregha.net/a-euregha-manifesto-for-2024-and-beyond/) was presented in December 2023 during a public high-level conference with participation of representatives from European Commission, European Parliament and European Committee of the Regions, and will lead EUREGHA's engagement during the new EU mandate. The Manifesto revolves around the following pillars, from the point of view of Regional and Local Health Authorities: 1) Towards a stronger European Health Union; 2) Address healthcare workforce’s skills and shortages; 3) Changing health through Regions: digital, green and organisational transition; 4) Stronger action on prevention, promotion and public health; 5) Boost synergetic EU funding programmes; 6) Cross-border cooperation at the centre; 7) Towards the value-based transition.
Furthermore, EUREGHA currently participates, mostly with stakeholder engagement, policy and communication in the BOOST, PERISCOPE, ONCODIR and INNOFACILITATOR projects, all receive funding under the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. EUREGHA also participates in the BeWell project, funded under Erasmus+, for which leads the work on the European Commission's Pact for Skills: Large-scale Partnership for the Health Ecosystem. Furthermore, EUREGHA supports the EU tender 'Overcoming obstacles to Vaccination'. More info on our projects can be found here: https://www.euregha.net/projects/
EUREGHA also organises a yearly conference promoting the network's activities in the abovementioned EU policy areas and regularly organises sessions during the European Week of Regions and Cities.Other activities
EUREGHA acts as the secretariat for Interregional Group on Health and Wellbeing at the European Committee of Regions. The Interregional Group was set up in 2010 to enable all members and alternate members of the CoR to debate openly and share viewpoints on EU policy issues related to healthcare and public health. The interregional group also seeks to enhance the dialogue with other EU institutions, the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies and international organization such as the WHO Europe and the OECD

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
