The European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health (EACH) announces the launch of the MEP Cardiovascular Health Group, an informal interest group within the European Parliament. The European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health (EACH) is a coalition of 21 leading European and international organisations committed to making cardiovascular health a policy priority within the EU. EACH will be supporting the MEP Group chaired by MEP Romana Jerkovic.

Event Overview

The inaugural meeting of the MEP Cardiovascular Health Group will take place on 23 April 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30 CET, at the European Parliament. Chaired by MEP Romana Jerković (S&D, Croatia), the event will bring together Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), healthcare professionals, and stakeholders from across Europe. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with EACH partners, learn about the group's work programme for the year, and witness the launch of the new publication, "A European Cardiovascular Health Plan: The Roadmap".

Significance for Medical Research

The establishment of the MEP Cardiovascular Health Group underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in medical research and policymaking. By bringing together policymakers, researchers, and healthcare providers, the group aims to drive forward innovative solutions and strategies to combat cardiovascular diseases. This initiative aligns with EACH's mission to enhance cardiovascular health through research, education, and advocacy.
