WHO/Europe and EuroHealthNet have signed a memorandum of understanding establishing a legal basis for collaboration on health promotion, health equity, investments for health, sustainable development, and prosperity for people and planet.
The agreement was signed during EuroHealthNet’s Annual General Council Meeting by WHO Regional Director for Europe, Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, and EuroHealthNet President, Dr Mojca Gabrijelčič.
Speaking at the signing, Dr Kluge said: “Partnerships are at the centre of the European Programme of Work 2020–2025 (EPW) – ‘United Action for better Health in Europe’, which serves as a compass for WHO/Europe and its 53 Member States. The programme sets out a vision of how we can meet citizens expectations about health. It is also perfectly aligned with the EuroHealthNet’s overall goal, to ensure that health promotion, preventative approaches and tackling health inequalities are put into policy and practice”.
From 4 June 2021, young public health professionals from Member States in central Asia, the Western Balkans and the Russian Federation are invited to apply for placements in the Pan-European Leadership Academy (ELA). The ELA is a new initiative to build experience and strengthen skills with WHO in the European Region.
