“1 in 11 deaths in Europe are caused by alcohol, they are 100% preventable. Policies informed by scientific evidence are more likely to address health challenges effectively, reducing disease burden and improving population health outcomes”, Aleksander Krag, EASL Secretary-General. Yesterday, health professionals from across Europe gathered to address this pressing issue at the first-ever European Alcohol Health Alliance Symposium, organised by WHO/Europe in collaboration with EASL. Europe faces the highest rates of alcohol-related diseases and disorders. Health professionals play a pivotal role in driving change, shaping policy, and reducing the burden of alcohol harm. This symposium focused on building a united front through collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovative tools like the WHO/Europe AI tool to combat alcohol harm. #EVIDAction WHO Regional Office for Europe Aleksander Krag UEG - United European Gastroenterology World Heart Federation European Medical Students’ Association (EMSA) Association of European Cancer Leagues

🌍 🌐 How can health professionals work together to reduce alcohol-related harms across Europe? With alcohol causing nearly 800,000 annual deaths in the WHO European Region and contributing to more than 200 diseases, including more than 7 types of cancer, coordinated action is essential. Health professionals are on the front line, facing this challenge every day. To amplify clinical voices and foster collaboration, the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) invite health professionals to reflect on their crucial role in addressing alcohol-related harms. This event is an opportunity to: ✅ Discuss the value of collective action to shape effective alcohol policies ✅ Identify key needs, opportunities and challenges for collaborative efforts ✅ Strengthen partnerships between health organisations 🤝 By uniting expertise, we can drive meaningful change. #EVIDAction #AlcoholPolicy
