Western Greece is preparing to host the 31st Annual Meeting of the WHO Regions for Health Network in Patras this November. 

Initial preparations involved meetings between regional health officials and the National Confederation of Persons with Disabilities (ESAMEA) to focus on equal healthcare access, digital health tools, and the participation of citizens in decision-making. 

Subsequent discussions with the World Health Organization (WHO) and international experts have expanded the regional focus to include mental health, health promotion, healthy aging, and sustainable health service financing. These topics are identified as high priorities for the WHO’s European region.
