The South Eastern Europe Health Network (SEEHN) and the European Health Forum Gastein (EHFG) continued their fruitful partnership in 2025 by supporting the participation of SEEHN representatives in the EHFG Annual Conference under the theme “Rethinking Solidarity in Health: Healing Europe’s Fractured Social Contract.”
Participation of Ms. Lejla Krvavac, Coordinator of the SEEHN Regional Health Development Centre on Mental Health, Ministry of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Mr. Radu Plamadeala, Head of the Department for Public Policy Coordination and European Integration, Ministry of Health of the Republic of Moldova, was made possible through funding from the SEEHN Secretariat and the support of the EHFG.
Prior to the conference, both participants took part in the sixth edition of the EHFG 2025 Capacity-Building Initiative for Policymakers, a 1.5-day pre-conference workshop on “Global Health Diplomacy.” The training explored the intersection between global health and foreign policy, offering participants hands-on experience through simulated multilateral negotiations.
This joint initiative reinforces SEEHN’s commitment to fostering cross-border cooperation, strengthening health diplomacy capacities, and promoting active engagement of South-Eastern European policymakers in shaping Europe’s health agenda.
