@JoaoBreda2 presenting on #qualityofcare and 3 main crises affecting health system quality: lack of value, evidence, and purpose. Better #lifelonglearning for health & care professionals could improve sense of purpose and create more value.

Thrilled to participate in my first @WHO_Europe_RHN Annual Meeting in spectacular Sevilla! This afternoon’s discussions will look at leveraging opportunities. But first, some rich discussions on universal health coverage.

Governments must be more aggressive at keeping publicly-funded research results in the public domain! Important lesson from this sad story about a stalled TB vaccine: https://t.co/Gjwy8E09Rh

[Alison Maassen @AlisonMaassen]

This was a fantastic discussion thanks to the wonderful contributions of @demc29demc, @FasceAngelo, @DasicJ, Caroline Bollars (WHO/Euro), and our engaged and insightful audience! Grateful for the chance to explore the deeper roots of vaccine acceptance and demand @GasteinForum.

Want to *really* address #HealthInequalities in 🇪🇺? To do so, we've got to go way 'upstream' and push (shove?) on the highest levers of economic and social policy coordination. Check out @EuroHealthNet's latest analysis of the #EuropeanSemester for more: https://t.co/eCUvqXzRsw

[EuroHealthNet @EuroHealthNet]

How do EU funds help promote equality & resilience?

2023, we're ready for you!

[Alison Maassen @AlisonMaassen]

Bernadette Kumar’s excellent chairing opened the space for a valuable and frank discussion of barriers to #VaccineEquity in 🇬🇷, 🇳🇱, 🇵🇱, and 🇸🇰. @rivereuproject’s ongoing research and implementation will help address and overcome these barriers to improve #VaccineUptake!

@dorsie78 @PaulJBelcher @yodifiji @IlonaKickbusch @OneNomadicCat @SandraGallina @EU_Health Yes, encouraging read, including the focus on a 'transdisciplinary approach', incorporating issues such as climate and trade policy.

[Alison Maassen @AlisonMaassen]

Why use scary-sounding headline in the EU HPP today? "One in 20 Europeans hesitant about vaccination and could be discouraged by fake news, new report finds". Alternative: "Only 5% of Europeans hesitant about vaccination, new report finds" Most people know #VaccinesWork! @C_L_C_I

[Alison Maassen @AlisonMaassen]

We are so grateful for the support and suggestions from our co-signatories on our #DigitalHealth joint statement! Looking forward to further collaboration now that the action plan has been approved 🤝

Wonderful to hear such enthusiastic reactions from member states and partners to the #BCI regional action framework. Congrats to @WHO_Europe for the participatory development process and looking forward to next steps. #RC72TLV

[EuroHealthNet @EuroHealthNet]

Behavioural and cultural insights are a low-cost, effective tool to promote health and relieve health systems.

In a #RC72TLV joint statement with @EUPHActs, we call on all stakeholders to take concrete measures to start putting BCI in practice.
