EU4Health Conference 2024

We are delighted to be a partner of a very special event this year!

The EU4Health Integration and Impact Initiative (EU4H3I) aims to address public health challenges such as health inequalities, unequal access to treatments and lack of diversity in clinical trials. Together with our partners, we advocate for interdisciplinary collaboration and the adoption of a holistic, cross-sectoral approach supported by the One Health perspective to support the development of the European Health Union.

We are very pleased to represent the field of childhood cancer alongside key representatives of the One Health approach and brain health in this project. These three areas are closely intertwined and form a complex set of interconnected issues.Childhood cancer not only affects the physical health of young patients during and after treatment, but also has a profound impact on the cognitive, emotional, behavioral and social abilities of affected children and the rest of their lives as well as their families and friends. The One Health approach, which recognizes the interdependence of human health, animal health and the environment, plays a central role in understanding the complexity of this challenge. It recognizes that environmental factors can contribute to the development of childhood cancer, underlining the need for a comprehensive view.

This event will bring together key stakeholders to discuss health inequalities, access to treatment, the diversity of clinical trials and urgent needs in the areas of childhood cancer and brain health. The aim is to promote a holistic One Health approach to tackling these challenges.

We think it’s important to look at the issue of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer not only in isolation but also in relation to other issues, such as the environment, in order to better recognize connections and thus be able to advocate even better!
