In the framework of the project Increasing consciousness and access to treatment, reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases across Europe ACN co-builted ( with the associations involved in the project) an European and national awareness campaign on proper lifestyles and on the prevention of the risks linked to cardiovascular disorders. It was decided to avoid threat/fear messages and the use of a dramatic style but to put at the heart of this campaign the feelings of hope, happiness and personal empowerment to inspire and motivate the audience.
In recent months, it hasn’t always been easy to see a doctor. And now, as life slowly gets back to something like normal, it can be difficult to pick up where you left off. Staying in control of our lives can be a daily struggle—especially this year, and especially for those who live with a chronic condition. It’s time for a change. It’s time to work together to take back control. It’s time to focus on our health again.

Patients want to access cross-border health services when treatment is not available in their home country, when it is managed better elsewhere, or, as in the case of many border areas, when the nearest available care is in another Member State. Currently, cross-border healthcare accounts for approximately 1% of the overall EU public health spending – around €10 billion per year.
