Country Focal Point Organizations (CFPO) and Country Focal Points (CFPs)

Country Focal Points (CFPs) are pivotal strategic members who coordinate network activities in each country. A Country Focal Point is an individual in a member organization and who is whenever possible not an EPN board member. CFPs are elected by members in the country.

Country Focal Point Organizations (CFPOs) are the host of the Country Focal Point. They are organizations/institutions that are committed to and working on health and medicine issues and which should have reasonably good communication facilities. More details on the roles of the CFPs and the CFPOs are given in the EPN Membership guidelines.

Below is the list of CFPs and CFPOs. Contact information is not published here to avoid its misuse by 'junk' mail senders, but we are very keen to put people in touch with each other - just email info@epnetwork.org or use our online contact form.
