On 25 February, during a live webinar hosted in UN City, Copenhagen, WHO/Europe will unveil its European Health Report 2024.

Produced every 3 years as a flagship WHO/Europe publication, the reports provide an overview of the health status of the population of the WHO European Region and analyse the Region’s progress towards its health policy goals and targets to identify priority areas for action and further improvement.

This edition is based on indicators included in the European Programme of Work, 2020–2025 – “United Action for Better Health in Europe” Measurement Framework. The 2024 edition of the report finds that the people’s health in the WHO European Region continues to be negatively affected by an accumulation of hard-to-tackle threats and new hazards that require urgent attention in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the launch event, the main findings from the report will be presented and stakeholders will reflect on them from various societal perspectives.

The event will be streamed live on WHO/Europe channels. Connection links and details will be made available in due course.
