How we work

Our vision

EUPHA envisions a sustainable future for public health, rooted in global commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals and shaped by the principles of One Health and Planetary Health. We advocate for resilient public health strategies that both protect people and respect the environment. By fostering cross-sector and cross-regional collaboration, we aim to address the complex social, environmental, political, and commercial determinants of health. Central to our vision is the commitment to narrowing health inequalities through proportionate universalism, with a strong focus on supporting marginalised and vulnerable populations through contextually appropriate and inclusive solutions.
