The Helsinki Statement on Investing in Health and Well-being is one of the outcomes of the 18th European Public Health Conference. Urging bold investment in health systems, embedding equity, using “Health in All Policies”, protecting public health from misinformation, and measuring well-being beyond GDP, seeing health as an investment for sustainable societies, not a cost, linking human health with planetary and social sustainability, and promoting an “economy of well-being”.
The Helsinki Statement on Investing in Health and Well-being, remains open for endorsement. Organizations across Europe can still sign and add their voice. EUPHA will build on it throughout 2026, especially during European Public Health Week (4–9 May 2026), when they will work with partners to bring the statement to life in countries and communities.
