EHFG 2022: A moonshot for a true European Health Union

If not now, when?

26 - 29 SEPTEMBER 2022 | HYBRID

Three years since the last onsite meeting in the Gastein Valley, the European public health community once more came together in 2022 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the European Health Forum Gastein (EHFG) and its first ever hybrid conference. Discussions focused on the challenges and policy options for action urgently needed across sectors, borders, and disciplines at this watershed moment for peace, health, security, and solidarity.
