The Technical Assistance Information Exchange Office (TAIEX) of DG Enlargement in co-operation with the Bulgarian Ministry of Health, DG Sanco and WHO Europe organised on 24-26 February 2003 to support and inform the Bulgarian Government in refining its ambitiously comprehensive new law on Public Health.
Bulgaria is an accession country currently aiming to achieve membership in 2007.
Stephen Gordon, General Secretary of the European Council for Classical Homeopathy represented EPHA at the seminar.
Using input from several EPHA members, Stephen made a number of interventions on subjects such as the role of NGOs and citizens in developing and delivering health care policy, regulation of health care professions, alcohol policy, ’alternative’ medicine, and actual public health issues.
The open and constructive approach to developing their legislation adopted by the Bulgarian Ministry is welcomed.
