Knowledge on hospitals in Europe is sparse and spread in different sources. To make easily available the core information and to give to the reader a vertical and a cross quantitative and qualitative overview on the main figures related to hospital activity HOPE collected data in three tools.

HOPE promotes the exchange of knowledge and expertise within hospital and healthcare professionals at the EU level through a unique Exchange Programme. Its aim consists in leading to a better understanding of the functioning of healthcare and hospital systems within EU and neighbor countries, by facilitating cooperation and exchange of best practices.

HOPE actively monitors EU policies and legislations likely to have an impact on the organisation and operation of hospitals and healthcare services and provides input and the perspective of healthcare providers in arenas where these issues are debated.

This section contains all the documents HOPE published from its creation until today classified in several categories, in order to allow the readers to access easily the information they need.

HOPE is involved in several EU funded projects as associate and collaborative partner. In the last years, the most recurrent topics have been Cross Border Cooperation, eHealth, Health Threats, Health Workforce, Patient Safety & Quality of Care and Promotion & Prevention.

HOPE has always participated to European debates as a speaker and as a participant.  HOPE is engaged to organize events also in collaboration with other European stakeholder organisations.
