About the Event 


The event will bring together Members of the European Parliament, representatives of international organisations, healthcare professionals, researchers and civil society organisations to discuss continuity of HIV care and prevention across Europe, particularly in the context of mobility, displacement and cross-border healthcare cooperation. This includes evaluating surveillance data from the ECDC to adapt policies.

The programme will include discussions on cost-efficient models of HIV care, community-based approaches, and the role of parliamentary oversight in ensuring sustainable investment in health systems and prevention strategies, aligning with the WHO Europe strategic framework.
