The document provides an overview of Ethiopia's policy and legal framework on HIV/AIDS. It outlines the national HIV/AIDS policy from 1998 and strategic plans from 2000-2004, 2004-2008, and 2009-2014. The policies aim to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and reduce its social and economic impact through multisectoral programs. Priority groups include commercial sex workers, migrants, and people living with HIV/AIDS. The policies also address HIV testing, confidentiality, and non-discrimination.
1) Respiratory diseases such as COPD pose a major public health challenge globally and in Moldova.
2) A national strategy is needed to prevent onset and progression through education, limit risk factors like smoking and pollution, and screen at-risk populations.
3) The strategy should also accurately diagnose and treat COPD through quality testing, clinical assessments, and management of comorbidities, while educating patients to self-manage their condition.

The FOOD Programme aims to promote healthy eating habits among employees in workplaces. It began as an EU-funded pilot project in 8 countries. The programme's methodology involves assessing needs, making recommendations, piloting communications, evaluating results, and disseminating best practices. Over 500,000 employees and 370,000 restaurants across 12 countries have participated. Evaluation found the programme successfully increased awareness of healthy eating. It now seeks to expand to new countries and topics like allergies and sustainability.

The document discusses the concept of "One Health" which recognizes the inextricable linkages between human, animal, and environmental health. It provides an overview of the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute's multidisciplinary research on zoonotic diseases like rabies, bovine tuberculosis, and brucellosis across Africa and Central Asia. Case studies on dog rabies control in Chad and livestock brucellosis vaccination in Mongolia show the cost-effectiveness of integrated programs that consider human and animal health together rather than separately. The presenter argues that truly understanding and addressing complex health problems requires an ecological, social-systems approach like "One Health".
The One Health Center aims to improve global health through an integrated approach addressing connections between human, animal, food, and environmental factors. Its mission is to assess and respond to health problems at this human-animal-environment interface through multidisciplinary and collaborative efforts. Key areas of research and intervention include improved water management, poultry immunization, disease surveillance, food safety, and combating malnutrition. A signature project will pilot interventions in these areas in Uganda to evaluate the added benefits of One Health approaches.

- The document discusses the "One Health" approach which integrates human, animal and environmental health. It addresses issues like food safety, zoonotic diseases like salmonella, and anti-microbial resistance.
- Regarding anti-microbial resistance, the document outlines the European Commission's action plan to promote appropriate antimicrobial use, strengthen regulations, and increase prevention and research efforts.
- It also discusses the Schmallenberg virus detected in European ruminants and the cross-sector cooperation to monitor its impact on human health. The document argues that the "One Health" approach leads to more effective risk management.
The document summarizes key barriers to and opportunities for a One Health approach. It discusses how different institutions involved in human, animal, and environmental health have different missions, funding, education, and attitudes. This siloed approach is not optimal for addressing complex health issues at the human-animal-environment interface. The document advocates for greater collaboration, shared learning, and an interdisciplinary One Health mission to improve disease surveillance, control, and prevention across all sectors.
This document discusses the economic benefits of a One Health approach to managing infectious diseases. It argues that a One Health approach can add value in three key areas: where resources are scarce; where resources are underutilized; and by taking a holistic view of food systems. A One Health approach that considers the entire food system context could improve understanding of health problems and allow for more proportional and timely responses. However, the benefits of One Health may not always outweigh the costs of institutional changes needed. Understanding the full impacts of issues like environmental effects, animal diseases, foodborne illness and nutrition within food systems could provide the tipping point for more widespread adoption of One Health.
Fao lessons learned from HPAI outbreaks in Asia 2005 - 2011Harm Kiezebrink
FAO has published a report on lessons learned from from the fight against highly pathogenic avian influenza in Asia between 2005 and 2011.
Since the emergence of H5N1 HPAI in 2003, the disease situation has evolved considerably. At the peak of avian influenza (AI) outbreaks in 2006, 63 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa were affected by the disease; it has now been eliminated from most of these countries. H5N1 is currently entrenched in a number of countries in Asia and the disease is endemic in China, Viet Nam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and large parts of eastern India. A number of countries in Asia, including the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR),Cambodia, Myanmar and Nepal, also experience regular outbreaks.
The period 2004 to 2008 saw a steady decline in disease outbreaks in poultry. While there has been an apparent increase in outbreak numbers since 2009, the 2011/2012 HPAI season saw a significant decline in poultry outbreaks. The last newly-infected country was Bhutan; this outbreak took place in February 2010. However, the disease is known to be under-reported and there is increasing evidence that H5N1 HPAI has become endemic in some of the smaller countries in Asia that have relatively undeveloped poultry industries; such countries include Cambodia and Nepal. It is estimated that the disease has resulted in the loss of over 400 million domestic poultry and has caused economic losses of over US$20 billion.
The information, generated from isolation and genetic and antigenic characterization of a large number of viruses in Asia and other parts of the world, coupled with the information on disease outbreaks, has improved our understanding of the virus’s evolution and the implications for its spread, infectivity and suitability for use in the development of vaccines. The current trends in evolution present a number of concerns, which include the emergence of second-, third- and fourth-order clades, demonstrating rapid evolution and rapid replacement of virus strains in some endemic regions, and the emergence of antigenic diversity, including changes in receptor binding capacity and the ability to break through existing vaccine strains.
One Health – an interdisciplinary approach in combating emerging diseasesILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet, Delia Grace and Jakob Zinsstag at the International Symposium of Health Sciences (iSIHAT 2013), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 20-21 August 2013.
One World - One Health presentation Katinka de Balogh FAOHarm Kiezebrink
During the FVE conference in Brussels on April 7, 2014, Katinka de Balogh, leader the global Veterinary Public Health activities of the FAO, presented the One-Health approach to highlight the importance of prevention, ensuring health and welfare of people and animals in a globalized environment:
• The benefit coming from the implementation of good health management in practice, both in terms of health and welfare, as well as, of financial sustainability
• The importance of coordinating actions in both sectors via a One-Health approach, with a particular focus on zoonotic diseases
• The role of the medical and veterinary profession in assuring these matters and educating the society
Katinka de Balogh is of Dutch and Hungarian origins and grew up in Latin-America. She studied veterinary medicine in Berlin and Munich and graduated and obtained her doctorate in tropical parasitology from the Tropical Institute of the University of Munich in 1984. In the late 80’s she had spent two years as a young professional at the Veterinary Public Health Unit of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva. In 2002 she started working at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome.
This document discusses different concepts of health and definitions of health. It outlines the biomedical, ecological, psychosocial, and holistic concepts of health. The World Health Organization's definition of health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" from 1946 is provided. The document also discusses dimensions of health including physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional, vocational, and political health. It defines indicators used to measure and assess health status including mortality, morbidity, disability, and health care indicators.
6th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2016 Integrative Risk Management - Towards Resilient Cities. 28 August - 01 September 2016 in Davos, Switzerland
Bacillus anthracis is the bacterium that causes anthrax. It is an aerobic, gram-positive, spore-forming bacillus. Anthrax spores can survive in soil for years and infect animals that ingest the spores. Humans can become infected through contact with infected animals or inhaling anthrax spores. There are three main types of anthrax in humans - cutaneous, pulmonary, and intestinal. Cutaneous anthrax causes skin lesions, pulmonary anthrax causes infection in the lungs after inhaling spores, and intestinal anthrax results from consuming infected meat. Laboratory diagnosis involves examining samples under microscopy, culturing on selective media, and animal inoculation. Anthrax is treated with antibiotics
The document discusses different concepts of health over time. It begins by defining health according to the WHO as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It then outlines 4 evolving concepts: 1) the biomedical concept views health as absence of disease; 2) the ecological concept sees health as a dynamic equilibrium between humans and their environment; 3) the psychosocial concept recognizes social, psychological and cultural influences; and 4) the holistic concept synthesizes all factors and sees health as involving overall well-being influenced by many sectors of society.
The document discusses concepts related to health, disease, and prevention. It defines health using the WHO definition of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It describes positive health and the good health triad. Determinants of health are defined as predisposing factors that influence community health, including host factors like age and genetics, and environmental factors. Risk factors are attributes associated with disease development. The document outlines dimensions of health and wellness, and defines disease using the epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment. It describes the natural history of disease and levels of prevention from primordial to treatment. Gordon's 1987 classification system for preventive interventions is also mentioned.
COPD is a serious lung disease affecting 4-10% of European adults that is often preventable through reducing risk factors like smoking and air pollution. It places a high economic burden on healthcare systems and is expected to become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. The document calls for 22 concrete actions the EU can take to improve COPD prevention, care, research, education and patient empowerment. These include increasing public awareness campaigns, strengthening tobacco control policies, improving screening and diagnosis, developing rehabilitation programs, increasing dedicated research funding, and supporting patient education initiatives.
Vani Preetha Ramachandran completed a two-month internship at the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control of Latvia. During her internship, she worked in several departments including Health Promotion, Addiction Disease Risk Analysis, Dental Care, Health Statistics, and Data Analysis and Research. In Health Promotion, she learned about the Joint Action Mental Health and Well-Being project and Latvia's efforts to address high rates of depression and suicide. In Addiction Disease Risk Analysis, she researched online gambling addiction and developed a questionnaire on the topic. The internship provided Vani with hands-on experience in a public health organization and exposure to project management, data collection, and health policy work.

This document outlines recommendations from the European Health Parliament's committee on antimicrobial resistance. It begins with an executive summary describing the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance and outlines four key areas of recommendations: 1) establishing a European Health Semester platform and national AMR teams to improve cross-border cooperation; 2) preventing AMR through GP interventions, diagnostic tools, and education; 3) implementing manufacturing standards to prevent pharmaceutical pollution; and 4) creating access to innovative tools through a global fund. The full document provides further context on antimicrobial resistance as a global crisis and the factors driving increased resistance.
The document summarizes key points from a speech given by the WHO Regional Director for Europe on health challenges in the European region and strategies to address them. The main points are:
1) There are significant health inequities within and between countries in the European region in terms of life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. Nordic countries have some of the highest rates.
2) Investing in public health, disease prevention, and addressing social determinants of health through intersectoral policies can help reduce inequities and improve population health outcomes.
3) The Health 2020 policy framework and examples from countries like Norway that have strengthened public health infrastructure and implemented intersectoral governance approaches provide guidance for addressing challenges and closing
The document outlines the European Union's actions and priorities in the field of rare diseases. Key points include:
- Establishing a definition of rare diseases and improving disease classification.
- Supporting national plans and strategies for rare diseases in EU member states.
- Developing networks of centers of expertise and establishing European reference networks.
- Improving access to information, diagnosis, treatment and care for rare disease patients across Europe.
- Accelerating research and ensuring access to orphan drugs for rare diseases.
Improving health equity through action across the life course: Summary of evi...DRIVERS
Economic growth, democratisation and improved living conditions have contributed to improved health and longevity in Europe, but profound and systematic differences in health persist. These differences form a gradient that runs from the top to the bottom of society, and this pattern holds true for all European countries.
These health inequalities have existed for centuries and much is now known about their causes – many of which are potentially avoidable.
The main aim of the DRIVERS project is to deepen understanding of the relationships that exist in a European context between some of the key influences on health over the course of a person’s life - early childhood, employment, and income and social protection - and to find solutions to improve health and reduce health inequalities.
This document begins by providing an overview of DRIVERS and its most significant findings. It then describes headline principles and recommendations to help reduce health inequalities across Europe.
The goal of the DRIVERS project is to leave a lasting legacy, by providing evidence that informs the implementation of policies and programmes across different sectors that are effective in reducing health inequalities, improving social justice and contributing to societal and economic progress for all.

WHITE PAPER
Together for Health:
A Strategic Approach for the EU 2008-2013
1. WHY A NEW HEALTH STRATEGY?
Health is central in people's lives and needs to be supported by effective policies and actions
in Member States, at EC1 level and at global level.
Member States have the main responsibility for health policy and provision of healthcare to
European citizens. The EC's role is not to mirror or duplicate their work. However, there are
areas where Member States cannot act alone effectively and where cooperative action at
Community level is indispensable. These include major health threats and issues with a cross-
border or international impact, such as pandemics and bioterrorism, as well as those relating
to free movement of goods, services and people.
To carry out this role, cross-sectoral work is required. Article 152 of the EC Treaty says that a
"high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation
of all Community policies and activities". This Strategy reinforces the importance of health in
policies such as the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs, emphasising the links between
health and economic prosperity, and the Citizens' Agenda, recognising people's right to be
empowered in relation to their health and healthcare. Actions in the Strategy represent work
on health across all sectors. Health is found in Treaty articles on the Internal Market,
Environment, Consumer Protection, Social Affairs including the Safety and Health of
Workers, Development Policy, and Research, amongst many others2.
The EC's important role in health policy has been reaffirmed in the Reform Treaty which was
agreed by EU Heads of State and Government in Lisbon on 19 October 2007, and which
proposes to reinforce the political importance of health. A new overall aim on supporting
citizens' wellbeing is expected, as well as an encouragement of cooperation amongst Member
States on health and health services. Work on health at Community level adds value to
Member States' actions, particularly in the area of prevention of illness, including work on
food safety and nutrition, the safety of medical products, tackling smoking, legislation on
blood, tissues and cells, and organs, water and air quality, and the launch of a number of
health-related agencies. However, there are several growing challenges to the health of the
population which require a new strategic approach.
– Firstly, demographic changes including population ageing are changing disease patterns
and putting pressure on the sustainability of EU health systems. Supporting healthy ageing
means both promoting health throughout the lifespan, aiming to prevent h ...
This document summarizes the key points of the Commission Staff Working Document on prolonging the Action Plan on HIV/AIDS in the EU and neighbouring countries from 2014-2016. It discusses that while global HIV trends are declining, cases in Europe are rising. The original 2009-2013 plan achieved several goals but more work is needed on testing, treatment, harm reduction and addressing discrimination. This prolonged plan focuses on continued political leadership, treatment as prevention, and improving attention to co-infections like tuberculosis. An independent evaluation of the original plan will help inform future EU policy on HIV/AIDS.
The document discusses the role of the UK Collaborating Centre (UK CC) for the World Health Organization's Health in Prisons Programme (WHO HIPP) in Europe. The UK CC, hosted by Public Health England, oversees technical support and advice for WHO on prison health issues. It aims to improve health and healthcare for prisoners and reduce health inequalities. The UK CC helps develop policy, holds international conferences, and establishes networks like the WHO European Prison Health Research Network to disseminate research and develop the evidence base around prison health.
The European Commission views patient safety as a priority and has taken several steps to promote it. These include establishing a patient safety working group, funding projects like EUNetPaS, and adopting a recommendation that encourages member states to develop national patient safety policies, empower patients, establish reporting systems, promote a culture of safety, and conduct research. While progress has been made, more work is still needed at the member state level, and the EU aims to play a supportive role through knowledge sharing, best practices, and continued coordination across Europe.
The document discusses European Union actions related to newborn screening for rare diseases. It provides background on EU health policy and legislation regarding rare diseases. It then summarizes an evaluation launched in 2009 on newborn screening practices for rare diseases across EU member states. The evaluation includes reports on current practices, an expert opinion on developing EU policies, and establishing an expert network on newborn screening.
The ATHLOS project aims to better understand aging trajectories and promote healthy aging through a large collaborative study. It will create a harmonized database from 20 longitudinal aging studies across Europe. Researchers from various fields will analyze this data to identify patterns of healthy aging, determine factors that influence aging outcomes, and develop a more valid definition of old age based on health rather than just age. The project involves 15 partners from 11 countries who will work together to translate the findings into policy recommendations to help Europeans age well.
This document discusses the legal basis and priorities for developing EU policy on rare diseases and health surveillance. Key points include:
1) Article 152 of the EU Treaty provides the legal basis for EU action in public health, including programs on rare diseases.
2) Priorities have included exchanging information through networks, developing strategies for coordination, and supporting research collaborations.
3) The Commission Communication and Council Recommendation on rare diseases aim to establish an integrated EU approach through non-binding coordination rather than legislation.
John F Ryan, Director, European Commission presenting at the EPA/HSE Environment & Health Conference, Dublin on the European Environment and Health Priorities
The social gradient in health refers to the consistent finding that lower socioeconomic status is associated with worse health outcomes and shorter life expectancy. People further down the social ladder run at least twice the risk of serious illness and premature death compared to those higher up. This social gradient exists even among middle-class groups. Both material and psychosocial factors contribute to these health inequalities. Addressing the social determinants of health through policies that reduce educational failure, employment insecurity, and poverty across the lifespan is important for improving population health and social justice.
This document discusses lifestyles and cancer prevention. It notes that unhealthy lifestyles like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and harmful alcohol use account for many cancers in Europe. International plans like the WHO Global Action Plan aim to reduce behavioral risk factors to prevent cancer and other diseases. The document then provides statistics on the most common cancers in Europe, noting variations in incidence rates across regions. It highlights monitoring of risk factors like those done by the Italian surveillance system PASSI as important for guiding prevention efforts. Finally, it introduces the next section which will discuss alcohol and its link to cancer.
Health Education as the empowerment of elderly peopleGiorgio De Gobbi
The document discusses the EHLE Project, which aims to empower elderly people about health through education. It developed a training toolkit to teach health professionals how to provide older adults with knowledge about healthy lifestyles. The project conducted interviews and pilot trainings in multiple countries. Its goal is to help elderly people better understand health information and make informed lifestyle choices by motivating behavior change.

The document discusses concepts related to ensuring a safe, secure, and sustainable energy supply. It introduces the concepts of risk assessment, resilience management, security of supply, sustainability, and multi-criteria decision analysis. It then presents a case study from the EU SECURE project that used these concepts to evaluate policy scenarios according to various environmental, economic, social, and security indicators. The study found that global climate policy scenarios generally performed best, though they were vulnerable to certain shocks like nuclear accidents or carbon capture failures. Overall policies that reduced fossil fuel use and led to greater diversification of energy sources and imports improved sustainability and security.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Respiratory Diseases in European Health Priorities during the Polish Presidency: CRD Network is the New Perspective in EU Policy
1. Polish Presidency in
European Council 2011
CRD network is the new perspective in EU
policy.
Bolesław Samoliński
Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Priorities of Ministry of Health during
Polish Presidency of the EU Council
Monika Przygucka - Gawlik
Councellor of the Minister
Ministry of Health, Poland
Davos, 20 February 2012
2. We have 27 health policies. This is the consequence of:
• Different economic situation in particular member states (MS)
• Different national health systems in each country
• Different understanding and position of public health in health
managementpractices
• Different level of technology and innovations
• Different tradition and mentality of the EU countries
3. There are many programmes on health, e.g. Europe
Health 2020, healthy aging, metal health, but these are
mostly political declarations.
The only one which really integrates the EU in trans-
border health care directive.
There are plenty of differences in risk factors and health
determinants, not only between countries but also
between regions in particular countries as well.
4. The presidency is too short a period of time to establish a new law in
the EU. It usually takes a few presidencies.
We must remember that all directives and conclusions must be
accepted by all Member States of the EU.
An EU ministers meeting, called COREPER, is one during each
presidency and this is the only moment when political declarations
like council conclusions are voted on. This is usually preceded by
hard work of Public Health Working Parties and ambassadors of all
European Union countries.
So, during such a presidential time the Country of Presidency can
propose, prepare and establish only 2 – 3 Council Conclusions.
5. During the Polish Presidency in the EU we proposed 4 priorities and
3 conclusions:
1. Closing health gaps within the EU through concerted action to
promote healthy lifestyle behaviours
2. Early detection and treatment of communication disorders in
children, including the use of e-Health tools and innovative
solutions
3. Prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of chronic respiratory
diseases in children
6. Prevention, early detection and treatement of chronic
respiratory diseases in children
Prevention, early detection and treatment of chronic
respiratory diseases affect child development and have a
positive impact on quality of life and on health, and
contribute to active and healthy ageing.
Therefore it is important to develop new tools to
improve the prevention, early detection and treatment of
chronic respiratory diseases in children by using the
“health in all policies” approach, especially across the
health, education, environment, research and
employment sectors.
7. Working on chronic respiratory deseases Council
Conlcusion, we:
- first had to establish CRD priority: prevention, early
diagnosis and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases
in children
-organized expert conference September 21st -22nd 2011,
in Warsaw : Childhood chronic respiratory diseases:
urgent need to close the gap
- prepared Council Conclusion: Prevention, early
diagnosis and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases
in children
8. The most important in this final document were two
political statements:
1. To implement chronic respiratory diseases into all EU
Member States health policies
2. To give an appropriate position of international
cooperation of scientific and public health networks.
9. This is the first Council Conclusion on
respiratory diseases and their prevention.
This is one of a few conucil conclusion regarding
health problems in children
And finally, this is the only one CC on
networking as a new tool for making health
policy in the EU and its integration on practical
and operational level.
10. In this text
… invites the Member States and The
Commission to:
• Encourage and support research in prevention, early
detection, treatment and causative factors
• Develop better understanding of the reasons of increase
of the prevalence and the influence of the environment
• Promote multisectoral approach and innovative
partnerships , especially e-health
11. .. invites the Member States to:
• take national action on childhood asthma
• strengthening cooperation
• raise awareness and education level
• exchange of best practices and data/statistics.
Common action at the EU level on respiratory diseases :
creation of networks, preferably employing already
existing infrastructure
12. … invites the European Commission to:
• include childhood asthma and allergy in the research
and health community programmes and activities
• support Member States and stakeholders
13. Polish Presidency
in European Union Council
implement early detection, prevention, and treatment of
noncommunicable respiratory diseases with particular emphasis on
developmental age (CRD)
14. Such networks integrate scientific and public
health nationals centers, NGOs and particular
patients organizations in preparing international
standards, guidelines with perspective on
implementing them into EU policy, especially the
European Commission, national governments
and parliamentarian and authorities.
15. The proposal of networks’ activities:
1. Focusing on a problem from a scientific and practical point of view
using EBM and HTA
2. Presentation of issues to the European Commission
3. International cooperation in order to pass knowledge, skills and
technology to national centres
4. Implementing a solution to clinical and public health problem into
national policy by the cooperation with national and regional
authorities.
5. In such a way, preparing a background for political decisions on
the European Council level.
16. Networks in the cooperation with all
stakeholders are the best model for the
utilization of Evedence Based Medicine
background in HAT for public health on
European Union and MS level policy.
17. Many thanks to the experts for supporting us in the
work on draft on CRD council conclusion
this is the solidarity in health
Polish Presidency in EU Council
