Public health and the 2009 European Elections

The 2009 European Elections provide an opportunity to influence health at local and European Government Level.  Elected European representatives are in a position to be strong advocates for the improved public health of those they represent and all European citizens.  IPH has produced a short manifesto identifying 5 areas of action in public health for MEPs and political parties.

1. Tackling health inequalities
2. Coordinated action on priority public health conditions
3. Health impact assessments of all EU policies
4. Strengthening information to help decision-making
5. Supporting a public health strategy for Europe.
