EUPHA 2014-2020
Our unique value
EUPHA has a unique position in the field of public health[1] in Europe. It is the largest network of public health professionals[2] and covers nearly all countries of Europe, as defined by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. EUPHA has an excellent reputation of being a strong, independent and broad science-based network. EUPHA has the obligation to use this unique position to the fullest extent and this second EUPHA strategy for the period 2014-2020 aims to do just that by combining support to our members with representation of our members at European and global level.
Our vision

We seek to support our members to improve health in Europe, adding value to the efforts of stakeholders in regions and states, in national and international organisations as well as individual health professionals.
