Update 68: "Celebrating 10 years of public health in Europe" - now available online


EPHA exploded onto the Brussels scene in 1993, just as the European Union first acquired a health competence - Art 129 of the Maastricht Treaty (subsequently Art 152 of the Amsterdam Treaty). This issue of the European Public Health Update celebrates EPHA’s 10th anniversary. We look back over the past ten years to highlight the successes, learn lessons and evaluate how the political context has changed.
