A focal point of the EHC is communication. To improve and strengthen our internal as well as our external communication we:
- have issued a leaflet on the work of the EHC
- have set up this web site
- carry out regular surveys among member organisations
- issue a quarterly EHC Newsletter
- support the establishment of e-mail connections for all European NMOs
The EHC holds one conference annually.
Please note that the 2009 EHC Annual General Meeting will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, between 11 and 13 September. For more information please visit: www.ehc2009.eu
Major themes at these conferences are current trends and developments within the treatment of haemophilia, safety and supply of haemophilia products, and regulatory affairs.
The target group of EHC conferences includes all EHC member organisations and other parties interested, such as other patient organisations, representatives of EU institutions, medical doctors and nurses within haemophilia, and pharmaceutical companies. The business meeting is only for EHC members.
The 2008 Annual EHC Conference took place in Dublin on 12-14 September 2008.
