GHH Response: EU Call for Evidence on health checks for cardiovascular diseases

Global Heart Hub (GHH) has submitted its response to the European Commission’s call for evidence on health checks for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) under the Safe Hearts Plan.

GHH welcomes the opportunity to contribute a patient‑led perspective. Patient organisations played an important role in shaping the Safe Hearts Plan, enabling the inclusion of evidence‑based recommendations that reflect the needs and priorities of those most affected: people living with, at risk of, or affected by CVD. It is therefore essential that their contribution is equally visible in implementation, through meaningful patient involvement and the systematic co‑design and co‑creation of cardiovascular health check programmes, embedded in the development, governance and rollout of measures at national level.
