📢 EPHA participated in an event at the European Parliament hosted by MEP Tilly Metz to discuss pressing challenges in EU healthcare including workforce shortages, equitable access to care, and the critical health impacts of climate change.

@HealthandEnv @EuroRespSoc @EFA_Patients @MutLibres @CPME_EUROPA @CancerLeagues @EuropeanLung Concluding his intervention at the Policy Outlook, our Head of Policy also urged EU decision-makers to prioritise clean air action: “Clean air benefits everyone, regardless of age, income, or postcode. This mandate is your chance to keep clean air ambition high.”

At the EUHAC Policy Outlook, EPHA’s Raymond Gemen stressed that #AirPollution does not impact all equally. It worsens health inequities, with poorer communities breathing worse air. #CleanAir action is vital for the environment but also for health & Europe’s economic resilience

Today at @europarl: EUHAC Policy Outlook on Strengthening Disease Prevention Through Clean Air Measures. EPHA will speak alongside health experts, policymakers, and scientists to discuss air pollution, health impacts, & actionable solutions. Learn more🔗healthyaircoalition.eu/2024/12/12/eve…
