Major Distinction for the Municipality of Geroskipou at the Working Meeting of the World Health Organization European Healthy Cities Network

The Municipality of Geroskipou, as a full member of the European “Healthy Cities” Network, took part from 21/11/2023 to 23/11/2023 in Utrecht in the Annual Working Conference of the European Healthy Cities Network.
The delegation that travelled to Utrecht comprised Municipal Councillor Mr Andreas Christofides, coordinator Mr Panikos Trakkidis, Municipal Secretary Mr Kostas Anastasiades and Health Officer Mr Marios Nikitas.
The main theme of the meeting was Health and Well-being for All, celebrating 35 years of the Healthy Cities movement.
More than 400 representatives of the cities and National Networks that make up the European Healthy Cities Network took part in Utrecht.
The topics discussed included:
– One Health, one future, advancing towards Planetary Well-being.
– Leaving no one behind: Promoting health in a digital age.
– The power of cities: Delivering an inclusive agenda for mental health.
– Creating sustainable places for all generations.
