ECDA is coordinating the production of a joint stakeholder statement on the employment of people with chronic diseases, via a thematic network on the EU Health Policy Platform.

The present initiative aims to enhance a collaborative work by interested EU organisations from the health, social or employment sector to share their perspective on the current situation for people with chronic diseases on the employment market and underlying issues with EU policy-makers and provide policy recommendations for change.

Involvement can take the form of drafting part of the statement, or providing input and adding to the paragraphs produced by other stakeholders.

The paper aims to be a living document until a final version is agreed upon in late October 2017.

Organisations interested in partnering with the ECDA in this work can join the thematic network on the EU Health Policy Platform, or email at info@alliancechronicdiseases.org
