European Headache Federation (EHF)

Since its foundation in 1992, EHF (European Headache Federation), a non-profit organisation, has sought to improve the life of those affected by headache in Europe.

To do so, EHF dedicates its efforts to improving awareness of headache disorders and their impact amongst governments, health care providers and consumers across Europe.

The European Headache Federation (EHF) is a non-profit organisation led by expert volunteers. Their aim is to promote headache science, make the best treatment available to everyone in need and improve the quality of medical care for people with headache.

They unite national member societies and cooperate with many others such as the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), the European Medical Agency (EMA) and the Global Campaign Against Headache, an official partner of the World Health Organisation (WHO). This network allows us to reach out to the global community of clinicians and scientists.

Missions:
EHF dedicates its efforts to improving awareness amongst governments, health care providers and consumers across Europe of headache disorders and their personal and socioeconomic impact.

Ultimately EHF seeks to create the optimal environment for headache sufferers and their carers across all Europe, so that they have access to appropriate treatment and therefore enjoy a better quality of life.

With the changes in the political structure in Europe and, with it, health care systems and access to treatments, the EHF has reassessed its role and responsibilities by adopting an integrated strategy directed towards key players involved in primary and tertiary headache management.
