The Coalition for Health, Ethics and Society (CHES) aims to promote multi-stakeholder dialogue between health and non-health practitioners on topical health issues. CHES events and publications particular attention to the ethical aspects of health and issues regarding access to healthcare, affordability and patient choice. CHES is a joint initiative by the EPC and Johnson & Johnson. Its activities are governed by a Steering Committee and managed by the EPC. CHES is independent of all stakeholders.
CHES overarching theme for 2024-2026 is “Paving the way for the future: a forward approach to societal health and wellbeing”. In this context, CHES activities in 2025 will enhance efforts to support the European Health Union and align with the European Union’s competitiveness agenda to promote individual and societal well-being.
