The European Public Health Association (EUPHA) is an organization of public health associations and institutes in Europe. It was founded in 1992.[1]

Its central office is based at the NIVEL (Nederlands instituut voor onderzoek van de gezondheidszorg) in Utrecht, Netherlands.[2] EUPHA also has a satellite office in Brussels, Belgium. thumb EUPHA is co-funded by the Health Programme of the European Union, and is registered with the EU Transparency Register under No. 37673629826-90.[3]

Members

EUPHA has two sorts of membership: full membership, which is open for national public health associations in Europe (WHO/EURO definition of Europe) and the associate membership, open for individuals, international NGOs and public health institutions. As of 2023, EUPHA has 85 members from 47 countries, bringing together over 39,000 public health experts.[3]

Pillars

In order to better support the activities of EUPHA and to include all aspects of public health, EUPHA has created four pillars to link EUPHA sections and EUPHA members. These pillars reflect the four working areas of public health: research, policy, practice, and training and education.[citation needed]
