Mission & Goals
One of the fundamental aims of the Global Heart Hub is to identify and unite heart disease patient organisations across the world. We do this by creating disease specific alliances (global patient councils), who work together in their disease area. Collectively, these patient councils share a common purpose in addressing the challenges of cardiovascular disease. We will raise awareness and understanding of heart diseases by sharing up-to-date information on treatment guidelines, best practices and patient experiences across the world. We believe global action is necessary to improve outcomes for all heart patients and their carers.
EU Legislative Interests
The Global Heart Hub is committed to bringing the patient perspective to policy initiatives and working to raise awareness of heart disease (e.g. EU Safe Hearts Plan, European Health Union and the EU's activities in relation to non-communicable diseases).
