The European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health (EACH) brings together leading European and international organisations around joint activities to promote cardiovascular health as a policy priority at EU level.
The Alliance provides a platform to aggregate knowledge and expertise of key stakeholders active in the field of cardiovascular health, and to advise and guide policymakers. The Alliance calls for greater focus on improving cardiovascular health and reducing the burden cardiovascular disease at European level.
The Alliance was officially launched on 27 September 2021 during a high-level policy debate attended by representatives of the European Commission, Member States and the European Parliament. The policy debate discussed policy actions to improve cardiovascular health for citizens across the EU.
MEP Heart Group Co-Chair, MEP Maria da Graça Carvalho, welcomed the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health, stating “As a member of the European Parliament and the Co-Chair of the MEP Heart Group, you can count on my support and the support of the entire MEP Heart Group to develop ideas, deepen knowledge, and establish the forum for brainstorming in the field of Cardiovascular Disease.”
