Mission & Goals
ECHO aims to seek an adequate interpretation in order to draw attention at European level to the health and social sector and to try to have a say in decision-making processes regarding health and social issues. Our goal is to strengthen national representative organizations of private care for the elderly. This can be achieved by sharing insights based on studies carried out in collaboration with European institutions and the organization of international events and workshops. Echo promotes cooperation between stakeholders at all levels, shares best practices, supports members’ activities, and organizes international events and workshops.
