CY-ESM at the European Public Health Conference (EPH)

The European project CY-ESM (Cyprus Empowered Surveillance Mechanism) participated in the European Public Health Conference (EPH Conference), an international scientific forum bringing together public health researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from across Europe and beyond.

 

As part of the conference programme, CY-ESM contributed through a poster display within the thematic category “Global health, One Health and health security.”

 

A One Health approach from Cyprus: A framework for EU public health preparedness and resilience

Poster title and  summary

 

The poster presented a digital One Health framework developed in Cyprus to support the modernisation of infectious disease surveillance. It demonstrated how integrated data flows across human, animal, and environmental health sectors can strengthen preparedness, early detection, and coordinated response to public health threats at the national and EU levels.

 

Key messages

 

The poster highlighted that:

  • digital One Health approach supports timely, cross-sector surveillance and strengthens national and EU-level responses to emerging public health threats.
  •  for modernising surveillance infrastructure and enhancing preparedness across EU Member States.

 

CY-ESM’s participation in the EPH Conference supported knowledge exchange at European level and contributed to ongoing discussions on strengthening public health preparedness and resilience.
