Why we need action
Health promotion and disease prevention can reduce the prevalence of NCDs by up to 70%. Enhancing screening and early detection is one of the most effective actions we can take. We need coordinated action to ensure screenings providing accurate and practical information relevant to all countries and population groups.
Our mission
Our mission is to enhance the screening of high-risk populations for CVD and DM across Europe. We aim to achieve this by:
- improving availability to screening programmes,
- tackling barriers to access for all population groups, and
- supporting the development of standardized strategies and protocols for the early identification of CVD and DM.
Our action plan
Over 4 years, 18 exploratory tests (pilots) in 11 countries will be realized to achieve 5 specific objectives:
- Analyze and Map EU existing screening procedures and tools.
- Develop standardized screening protocols.
- Enhance national capacities to implement screening programmes.
- Co-design and Realize Pilots according to different scenarios.
- Evaluate pilots and scale up.
Strategies for long-term success
The strategies for long-term success involve comprehensive planning, collaboration, and sustainability measures aimed at:
- creating and nurturing common knowledge,
- building Collaborative Networks,
- establishing standardization processes and tools,
- creating roadmap for scaling-up,
- performing continuous assessment and improvements, and
- ensuring effective capacity building and awareness raising activities.
