15 Minutes on Health Inequalities for EUPHW
The European Public Health Week (EUPHW) aims to raise awareness about public health and promote collaboration among the public health community in Europe. This year's European Public Health Week theme is "Health is a political choice" and highlights the interplay between politics and health to create sustainable change for better health in the future. In 2024, it will run from 13th-17th May.
