WHAT WE DO

Our aim is to enhance the health outcomes of patients worldwide by promoting funding opportunities for research in thrombosis and hemostasis, while also leveraging education and awareness. To achieve this, we are building relationships with governments, inter-governmental agencies, and regulatory bodies to highlight the importance of T&H in promoting better health outcomes. We are also collaborating with the global thrombosis and hemostasis community, as well as other medical specialties with similar interests, to advance common agendas.

Our efforts involve educating policy makers about the burden of disease caused by thrombosis and the effective health interventions available. We also highlight pressing scientific challenges related to thrombosis and hemostasis that require continued funding. Our goal is to position the ETHA as an important voice and EU stakeholder in the field of non-communicable diseases.
