There are new and clear signs today that health outcomes in Greece have worsened during the financial crisis, especially in vulnerable groups of people. These concerns are detailed in a report published today in The Lancet, written by Alexander Kentikelenis and Dr David Stuckler, University of Cambridge, UK, and Professor Martin McKee, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and colleagues. EuroHealthNet finds this worryingly predictable and avoidable. 下載本月詳細文件 (英文版)

Today, the Commission published their vision for the Common Agriculture Policy towards 2020. The European Public Health and Agriculture Consortium (EPHAC) welcomes the European Commission’s recognition of the urgent challenges of climate change and increasing pressure on the world’s resources. However, EPHAC believes the proposals largely ignore public health and do not go far enough towards a truly sustainable food and farming policy. 下載本月詳細文件 (英文版)

World Health Summit – Personalities

Dr. Luis Sambo, Regional Director Africa, World Health Organization

「Five years before the Millennium Development Goal deadline of 2015, there is growing concern that MDG 5 – Improve maternal health – is the one that is furthest off track. Effort to improve maternal and child health requires action on all factors that affect the health of women and children. This includes addressing poverty, hunger, gender inequality, ensuring women's and children's rights and improving education for women and girls. The efforts need strong national leadership and ownership, a whole-of-country approach, including not only from all governments, but also from the private sector, foundations, non-governmental organizations and civil society, as well as international organizations.」 >>Read more

Working Session 「Empowerment Through Research:Capacity Building in Low- Income Countries」

The Constitution of the World Health Organization first articulated that health is a fundamental human right in 1946 . As a result, one of the aims of the medical research and scientific community, of the healthcare industry, as well of the many internationally operating health organizations and initiatives is to improve the health of populations around the world. Health interventions play an essential role in reaching this goal.
