For Medical Director Marrit de Vries, prison health is about how the system helps people to flourish both inside and outside of the prison walls. At #PrisonHealth2024 , which ends today in Amsterdam, we want to be loud and clear—prison health is public health!

The primary focus of the new Pan-European Network for Disease Control ( #NDC ) will be:

✅ Emergency Response Coordination
✅ Equitable Access to Countermeasures
✅ Collaborative Surveillance

The NDC launch on 22 Apr. will be hosted by UK Health Security Agency in #London .

Health protection is a human right. World Health Organization (WHO) and EU Health - #HealthUnion have joined forces in a groundbreaking project to improve vaccination coverage among groups often disproportionately affected by vaccine-preventable diseases. #UnitedinProtection #EveryDoseCounts
