Cittadinanzattiva/Active Citizenship Network has been invited to take part the second multi-stakeholder meeting of the “Mission Board on Vaccination in Europe”. The meeting will include updates and group discussions related to each working group, as well as contributions from external speakers, including the European Commission, European Parliament and Council of the EU. To know more about the CAN commitment at the EU level on vaccination policy,
Building up on our health-focused research and impact programmes, this year Think Young decided to organize the first European Vaccination and Prevention Summit which will be an opportunity for policymakers, health experts and civil society organisations to come together and discuss the challenges in the area of vaccinations and prevention both at European and Member State Level. The Summit – planned in Brussels at the Museum of Natural Science on 28 June - will also aim to spotlight youth voices with respect to vaccines and prevention, connecting the concerns and views of young people with high-level stakeholders in the healthcare industry and related policy fields.
ACN and all 22 other NIGHTINGALE partner organisations will come together for a two-day meeting, which will focus on the main project updates and recent developments of the technological solutions developed in the project to improve the operational capabilities of emergency medical services and civil protection agencies in case of mass casualty incidents. Partners will be able to review progress and formulate a clear strategy for the coming months. Read more about Nightingale here.
The Steering Group on Influenza Vaccination of which ACN is member, is organizing an Info Session on Wednesday 7 June 2023 from 11.30-12.00 to prepare the campaign for the European Flu Day which will be celebrated on 11 October 2023. This webinar, hosted by the Secretariat of the Steering Group on Zoom Platform, aims to introduce participants to the EU Flu Day project and this year's campaign toolkit which will take place on the topics of empowering health workers, with the aim of raising awareness of the need to ensure that doctors, nurses and pharmacists are equipped to not only administer but also communicate about seasonal influenza vaccines and immunization, to their patients and colleagues.
Cittadinanzattiva, as a project partner, will be present at the next project meeting which will be also the occasion to discuss the Patient needs and expectations that are at the centre of the project: FACILITATE, in fact, is a project built on a patient-centred vision: it focuses on the needs and rights of the patients who take part in a clinical trial to dispose of their own data, Its main goal is to develop a process to return data originating from a clinical trial to study participants for their use and re-use. The whole data process, from the collection of data to its destruction or anonymization, including its sharing and re-use, will be legally and ethically compliant and aligned with the patient's voice.
Cittadinanzattiva - ACN invited to the #EHMA2023, in the focus session ‘Unveiling the potential of #vaccination registries in Europe.’ Panellists will share recommendations for better use of vaccination data, deployment of vaccination registries and best practices for implementing them.
The Roundtable event – supported by Active Citizenship Network - will see the launch of developed Recommendations to policymakers to improve the current level of fragmentation that high-risk patients experience across the European Union regarding Covid-19 care pathways. Together with the launching of recommendations, through the organisation of the event, European stakeholders, as well as representatives of national governments and civil society organisations, will be provided with a platform to further put the spotlight on the challenges relating to achieving the optimal care of COVID-19 patients and the enhancing of national healthcare systems. The event will not only see the discussions about the needed improvement when it comes to shortening of patient pathways, but also will address the topic of health system strengthening to prevent, prepare, and respond to future pandemics.

This multi-stakeholder event represents a milestone in the policy dialogue process that first involved local, regional and national, and now European institutions. It is part of the final stage of the project and is organized following the realization of several local roundtables with the involvement of the main stakeholders, together with representatives of the local and regional institutions of the 5 countries of the AHEAD consortium (Italy, Moldova, the Netherlands, Romania and Serbia).
The ultimate aim is to present to the European Institutions our main recommendations, tools and concrete proposals, based on our analysis and research in the project countries, to address the phenomenon of medical desertification. These were co-developed with the national institutions, to affirm and emphasise the commitment of the European institutions on an issue that is present in many countries.
