European Union of Medicine in Assurance and Social Security (EUMASS) / Union Europeenne de Medecine d Assurance et de Securite Sociale (UEMASS)

In Europe, about 500 million people are affected by social insurance schemes funded or endorsed through society as a collective social security. Decisions on entitlement to benefit are usually based on medical assessments which in turn are based on European insurance medical knowledge and common methods. EUMASS/UEMASS wants to offer a platform to exchange experiences within the field of Insurance Medicine between various insurance-related organizations in Europe, mainly focusing on public social security.

EUMASS/UEMASS was founded in 1972 and became a nonprofit organization under Belgian law (asbl) on 23rd June 2022. Currently, the secretariat is situated in Brussels, Belgium.

The General Assembly is the main body of EUMASS/UEMASS. Each Member State of EUMASS/UEMASS may nominate up to two representatives and may nominate one deputy for each representative. The representatives and the deputies have to be medical doctors.

The EUMASS/UEMASS General Assembly meets three times a year with scientific seminars and runs several working groups.
