EcoFin’s policy platform monitors and influences national and UN policy relating to health, health equity, and the wider issues which affect health and wellbeing. It advocates for policies which are based on good evidence and practice, and supports cross-sectorial and joined-up policy making. Associate members come from all sectors and are willing and able to work on addressing the determinants of health.
The office monitors, influences, analyses, and explains EU policy and action related to health inequalities and determinants. The expertise and experience of the partners is amplified and shared, helping to influence change at European, National, and sub-national levels.
EcoFin Healthcare also has an important role in facilitating information exchange between partners through study visits, capacity building actions and technical working groups. This helps them to build capacity and knowledge, so they can build on the best that Europe has to offer in the field of public health and health promotion.
