On September 29, 2026, the EHC is organising a Round Table discussion entitled Bridging the Gap: Bleeding Disorders and Cardiovascular Care in Europe, hosted by MEP Aurelijus Veryga (ECR, Lithuania) at the European Parliament in Brussels.
People living with bleeding disorders are increasingly affected by cardiovascular conditions as life expectancy improves, yet they continue to face significant gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and coordinated care. At the same time, balancing the risks of thrombosis and bleeding presents unique clinical challenges that are often insufficiently addressed in current healthcare systems. With ongoing EU discussions on pharmaceutical legislation and equitable access to care, this is a timely opportunity to highlight these intersecting needs and identify policy solutions.
Please note that seats are limited to 50 at the European Parliament, so please register quickly.
Travel Grants for EHC National Member Organisations
The EHC continues its small grant programme to help a wider group of EHC National Member Organisations (NMOs) access and benefit from the EHC Round Tables in Brussels.
The EHC will cover the travel costs up to €500 for up to 5 NMO representatives to participate in this Round Table.
The EHC will approve the requests based on the following criteria:
- Whether the NMO or NMO member has a current specific and relevant interest in the topic of the Round Table;
- Whether the NMO or NMO member is currently advocating on the topic of the Round Table;
- Whether the NMO is planning a programme or project on the topic of the Round Table in the near future;
- Initially in this process, preference will be given to NMOs or NMO members who have not attended previous Round Tables.
Please note: if an NMO member confirms attendance but does not attend, the EHC won’t fund the travel grant. Hence, taking travel insurance is highly recommended.
To apply, please send an email to Roberta Sadauskaite, EHC Public Policy Lead, at [email protected].
