EKHA’s ongoing projects:
- As part of the EACH Task Force working on the upcoming EU CVH plan, EKHA has provided its preferred definition or framing of cardiometabolic health checks: see HERE.
- For EKHA’s statement for the United Nations General Assembly High Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), September 2025, click HERE.
This Statement highlights kidney disease as a major public health challenge, with chronic kidney disease (CKD) affecting a growing number of Europeans. It underscores CKD’s links to other NCDs, the heavy financial and social burden of kidney failure care, and the underuse of effective drugs that can slow disease progression. Finally, it calls attention to the landmark WHO Resolution on kidney health and urges its swift implementation across EU Member States and beyond.
- EKHA is proud to partner with the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health (EACH).
Alongside diabetes and obesity organisations, we are shaping the upcoming EU Cardiovascular Health Plan, now publicly available on the European Commission’s website HERE.
EKHA and several members have responded to the EU’s call for evidence highlighting the links between cardiovascular and kidney health HERE.
