In this episode of the Georgian Medical Journal Podcast, we present the launch of the UEMS Public Health Section Platform, a new European initiative designed to strengthen collaboration, knowledge exchange, and policy alignment across public health systems.

Developed in collaboration with the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) Public Health Section and supported by the Public Health Institute of Georgia (PHIG), the platform provides a structured academic and professional environment connecting countries, experts, and institutions.

We discuss:

– The role of UEMS in European healthcare systems

– Why public health needs stronger cross-border collaboration

– How the platform supports countries, professionals, and policymakers

– The importance of evidence-informed public health systems

– Future opportunities for engagement and expansion

This episode reflects on the importance of building integrated, resilient, and collaborative public health systems across Europe.
