Press Release: Commission launches health information project

The European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, Markos Kyprianou, on 2 February 2006 launched the 'European Health Information Platform' or 'Health in Europe' project. This health information system was co-financed with €1.4 million from the EU Public Health Programme, and managed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). It was a multimedia initiative which aimed to create a network of public broadcasters and other media across Europe, and foster the exchange of reports, including television documentaries, radio broadcasts and press and internet articles on health issues.
