  2. Who we are A Brussels-based network of 108 regional and local representatives across 18 Member States that areactive in the public health field

  3. Our Mission Free & open European network of regional and local authorities focused on public health, which reaches out across the EU to create synergies between regions and other stakeholders on health issues. EUREGHA brings together a large number of European local and regional authorities, adding weight to the regional voice in European policy making. By representing the interest of local and regional authorities in the public health field at the European level, the network aims to strengthen policy collaboration between regional and local actors and the EU institutions.

  4. How We Work As a platform that brings together regional experts and decision-makers, our objective is to link the EU debate to the regional planning and vice versa. EUREGHA tracks EU policies and initiatives such as the European Innovation Union (in particular the Active and Healthy Ageing pilot) to advocate for the interests/concerns of regions. Organised via Working Groups (e.g. Mental Health Working Group – discussed promotion of mental health in nursing homes, tele-psychiatry and other ICT tools.)

  5. Activities EUREGHA promotes activities aiming at increasing both understanding of regional health systems and recognition of the valuable contribution that local and regional authorities can make to the European process. Activities include: Participation in EU Fora – Health Policy Forum, Diet PA Platform, Alcohol Forum, Projects – EUREGENAS, Joint Actions – EPAAC, Health Inequalities, Events – eHealth Open Days fringe event; Collaboration with other networks – EHTEL- AER-EUREGHA symposium; Consultation responses – 5th Cohesion report ...
