On 25-26 November, Anna Jassem participated in a study visit to Riga organised by the Platform of European Social NGOs. During the visit, she had the opportunity to meet with several Latvian NGOs working on public health issues.
The main topic of discussion was the establishment of a Latvian NGO health platform and the training seminar that EPHA is planning to organise in Latvia in February 2005. These activities are part of the EPHA’s EU funded project devoted to developing the capacity of NGOs working on health issues in Central and Eastern Europe.
On 26 November the Social Platform secretariat organised a plenary meeting with representatives of national Platform members and other social NGOs. The meeting gave Platform members a good overview of the civil society situation in Latvia. It was also an occasion to present EPHA and its activities.
