On 18 June, the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) held its 2026 General Assembly (GA).
Around 60% of EPHA's membership was represented at the meeting, which was held online, making it one of the highest participation rates in EPHA history. The positive and constructive atmosphere left the organisers feeling optimistic about the years ahead.
The EPHA GA adopted the following resolutions:
Approval of the 2025 annual accounts
Approval of a one-off six-month extension of the mandate of the Board elected for the 2026–2028 term, in order to return EPHA to its traditional December Board election cycle.
The GA elected the EPHA Management Board for the 2026–2028 mandate and, during its first meeting later that afternoon, the newly-elected Board appointed its officers.
The EPHA Board for 2026–2028 consists of:
Elisabeth Dupont (International Diabetes Federation Europe) – President
Dr Wolfgang Fecke (Association of European Cancer Leagues) – Vice-President
George Sultana (Malta Health Network) – Treasurer
Dr Paolo Lauriola (International Society of Doctors for the Environment – Italy) – Board Member
Prof. Marija Jevtić (The Society of Vojvodina Physicians, Serbian Medical Society) – Board Member.
With a new Board in place, the implementation of EPHA's 2026–2030 Strategy can begin and EPHA looks forward to working with its membership in the years ahead as it continues to advance health equity, strengthen public health, and amplify the voice of civil society across Europe.
Alzheimer Europe is a member of EPHA. Our Executive Director, Jean Georges, represented the organisation at the online EPHA GA of 18 June.
