On 12 December 2022, EHN CEO, Birgit Beger, joins a rich panel of speakers to discuss the importance of early detection for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes at the event hosted under the auspices of the Czech Council Presidency: "How can we reduce premature and preventable deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and diabetes? A case for early detection."

"Prevention is better than a cure. Evidence-based, cost-effective early detection programmes can improve patients' health outcomes and quality of life." - Birgit Beger (EHN CEO)

Building on the momentum created by the EU Healthier Together Initiative, this event created a platform for discussions between EU and national-level stakeholders, to explore ways to improve the early detection of CVD and diabetes in order to reduce premature and preventable deaths.

Check out the video below to hear panelists from the event discuss everything from health equality to the economic benefits of prevention and early detection of CVD and diabetes at an EU and national level.
