Recent ECDC data show that despite progress in prevention and control efforts, the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses (HBV and HCV) continue to pose significant public health challenges in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA).
The annual European Scientific Conference on Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology (ESCAIDE) is taking place in Stockholm and online from 20-22 November 2024.
This annual meeting of National ECDC Correspondents focused on the technical cooperation developments over the last year in the areas of disease surveillance, microbiology, preparedness and response.
The Management Board approves and monitors the implementation of ECDC’s work programme and budget, it adopts its annual report and accounts - all in all, it acts as the governing body of the Centre.
