What to expect from the 2024 European Public Health Week?

The European Public Health Week (EUPHW) 2024 will focus on the overarching topic - Health is a political choice - highlighting the interplay between politics and health to create sustainable change for better health in the future.

We will open the dialogue online and in person in Brussels on Monday, May 13, at the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, discussing how to integrate health into the political agenda effectively. We will address health within the context of crises and explore the concepts of a well-being economy and politics. Additionally, we'll delve into the importance of community participation in health politics, implementing Health-in-All-Policies, and the broader application of health considerations across all policy areas. This day aims to set the stage for a week of fruitful discussions, laying the groundwork for actionable insights and strategies to ensure health is prioritised across all levels of political decision-making. Stay tuned for more information on this event!

Each of the EUPHW days, from Monday to Friday, will focus on a dedicated daily theme while keeping in mind the overarching topic. For details, please see in the next section and under Daily themes.
