Welcome to the launch of the 2014 Euro Health Consumer Index (EHCI) January 27, 2015, in Brussels

Since 2005, Health Consumer Powerhouse has compared the performance of European healthcare to increase transparency, empower patients and drive outcomes. The EHCI has become an “industry standard” of modern, well-serving healthcare. As the European Commission now will develop methods to assess the member state health systems, the EHCI sets an example. Assessment strategies will be in focus of the seminar. The 2014 Index includes no less than 36 countries.
 
The launch seminar takes place in the Thon Hotel EU, Rue de la Loi 75, Brussels, room The Netherland II&III. You are welcome to join us there. The seminar is free of charge but pre-registration is obligatory. There will be a limited number of available seats.
