A ‘one stop shop’ for Europeans wanting to find out what’s happening across a broad spectrum of health issues in their own countries and throughout the continent has been launched at http://health.europa.eu.
Health-EU, launched in English in May 2006 by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Health and Consumer Affairs, is now available in 20 European languages.
The portal groups all major international and NGO links, as well as news, events, advice and expertise from across Europe. The portal aims to encourage people to take responsibility for their own health, to raise awareness about health issues and provide news of health-related events and developments across Europe in one easy dose. Information on healthy eating and nutrition forms a key element of the portal.
