EHLA ARCHIVE [2021]

European Health Leadership Award 2021

The European Health Leadership Award (EHLA) showcases and supports the achievements of individuals and organisations that display exceptional leadership in safeguarding or improving the health of people in Europe.

In 2021, the EHLA was looking for an outstanding intervention from an individual or organisation concerned with supporting the health and well-being of the health workforce in Europe, and hence contributing to a more resilient future for health in Europe. The Award simultaneously aims to both express gratitude for their work and promote their initiative so that it can become an inspiration for others to further generate a greater impact on health and societal well-being.

Winner

The winner of the European Health Leadership Award 2021 is the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM), whose LIVES C19 and C19_SPACE programmes facilitate knowledge exchange between stakeholders and provide training for health professionals to support their non-regular work on intensive care units.
