News 30.07.2026 EAHM joins the EU Transparency Register

The European Association of Hospital Managers is now registered in the EU Transparency Register, reinforcing its commitment to transparent, ethical and accountable engagement with the European institutions.

European Union | 27 July 2026

The European Association of Hospital Managers has completed its registration in the European Union Transparency Register.

EAHM’s registration is now public under the following number:
REG 9098839105424-07.

This represents an important institutional step in strengthening EAHM’s capacity to represent the experience, knowledge and priorities of hospital and healthcare managers in European policy discussions.

It also provides a clearer framework for the Association’s engagement with the European Parliament, the European Commission and the Council of the European Union.

Transparent engagement and credible representation

The EU Transparency Register provides public information about organisations that seek to influence or contribute to the formulation and implementation of European policies.

For EAHM, registration reflects a commitment to openness about the interests it represents, the objectives it promotes and the activities through which it contributes to European dialogue.

Why this matters

European health policies ultimately depend on implementation within hospitals, healthcare organisations and health systems.

Hospital and healthcare managers are responsible for translating policy ambitions into organisational change, workforce strategies, digital transformation, integrated pathways, quality improvement, resilience and sustainable service delivery.

Their operational experience must therefore be part of the European conversation.

Transparency

Making EAHM’s interests, objectives and European engagement publicly visible.

Representation

Bringing the shared experience and priorities of EAHM’s national and regional member associations into European discussions.

Dialogue

Supporting structured engagement with the European institutions and relevant European stakeholders.

Accountability

Ensuring that EAHM’s European representation follows clear standards of transparency and professional conduct.

Bringing implementation into European discussions

EAHM will use this framework to strengthen its contribution to European consultations, institutional dialogue and policy discussions relevant to hospitals, healthcare organisations and health systems.

This includes areas in which management capacity and implementation experience are particularly important:

Healthcare workforce and leadership

European health systems face shared challenges related to workforce shortages, retention, skills, wellbeing, leadership development and the creation of more resilient healthcare organisations.

Digital transformation and artificial intelligence

The implementation of digital health, artificial intelligence, the European Health Data Space and cybersecurity requirements depends on governance, organisational readiness, professional skills and effective change management.

Integrated and people-centred care

Hospitals increasingly operate within wider networks of primary care, community services, social care and specialised centres. Managers have an essential role in strengthening coordination and continuity of care.

Sustainability and preparedness

Financial pressures, environmental responsibility, crisis preparedness and organisational resilience require decisions that connect policy objectives with operational realities.

What the registration supports

  • Participation in relevant European consultations and policy discussions.
  • Transparent communication and engagement with the European institutions.
  • Greater visibility for the perspective of hospital and healthcare managers.
  • Stronger consultation and coordination with EAHM member associations.
  • Evidence-informed contributions on the implementation of European health priorities.

Strengthening EAHM’s European role

Registration in the EU Transparency Register forms part of EAHM’s wider effort to strengthen its institutional presence and ensure that hospital and healthcare management contributes meaningfully to European health-policy debates.

EAHM will continue to work closely with its member associations, advisory bodies, partners and hospital and healthcare managers across Europe to identify shared priorities and develop practical contributions.

The objective is not only to participate in European discussions, but also to help connect policy ambition with the conditions required for successful implementation.

Looking ahead

EAHM will monitor relevant European initiatives and consultations, gather perspectives from its members and promote dialogue on the strategic challenges affecting European hospitals and healthcare systems.

The registration represents another step towards ensuring that the experience of hospital and healthcare managers is visible, credible and effectively represented at European level.

Institutional clarification

Registration in the EU Transparency Register does not constitute accreditation, partnership, approval or endorsement of EAHM by the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of the European Union or the Secretariat of the Transparency Register.

Transparent engagement. Stronger representation.

A stronger European voice for hospital and healthcare management.
