The “World Heart Day” is the perfect day to quit smoking, start exercising and start eating healthy – all in the name of keeping your heart rate in good conditions, and improving the health and well-being of people all over the world. On this occasion, Active Citizenship Network will carry out for the first time at the EU level ad hoc European and national awareness campaigns on proper lifestyles and on the prevention of the risks linked to cardiovascular disorders and pathologies. The initiative is realized as part of the multi annual EU project “Increasing consciousness and access to treatment, reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases across Europe”.
Launched as a follow up of the XV European Patients’ Rights Day, “Health at the heart of the future of Europe” is the title of the cycle of EU Webinars which Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network is holding to feed the debate of the Conference on the Future of Europe. The main idea is to highlight the priority of health as a common good in the debate of our and of the next generation, prescribing a healthier future for Europeans.
Healthcare, well-being and a healthy lifestyle are vital for all of us. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed a need to work together to build stronger health systems and protect European’s physical and mental health.
While national governments are primarily responsible for healthcare and medical services, European Union health policies can support and strengthen this action.
Following our “Position paper on prevention, innovation and a new health governance for the new EU Institutions”, drafted in May 2019 by ACN with the endorsement of 18 associations, on Non-Communicable Diseases, Active Citizenship Network has decided to increase the awareness of a growing number of patients’ rights associations on the importance of the prevention of pathologies correlated to cardiovascular protection. To do so, it was launched, from the second half of 2019, a multi-annual EU project with the aim of increasing consciousness on correct lifestyles and access to treatment, collecting good practices and reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases across Europe.
Supported by Bayer, the advocacy expertise on CVDs at the EU level has been guaranteed by the “European Congenital Heart Disease Organisation”, Stroke Alliance for Europe” and “The Heart Failure Policy Network”, while the scientific support has been provided by the “Italian Society of General Medicine and Primary Care” (SIMG). 21 PAGs from 16 Countries have been involved in a cycle of training seminars, in the definition and dissemination at the national level of an awareness campaign, in a policy dialogue & networking at the EU level.
