EHMA`s aim is to improve the quality and build the capacity of health management across the European region. As EHMA`s statutes state: we seek to "improve health management and health policies through the development and exchange of both ideas and practices among academics, researchers, managers, clinicians, policy makers and consumers throughout Europe."

EHMA structures its vision under three areas: Quality and Equity in health and healthcare; Innovation in health management; and Sustainable Health Systems; underpinned in all three areas by Leadership.

> Quality and Equity: We want to see high quality healthcare and reduced health inequalities, led by outstanding managers, supported by appropriate policy frameworks and underpinned by the best available research.

> Innovation: We want to see innovative health management and research that thinks radically about service provision and public health for the good of all citizens.

> Sustainable health systems: We want to see health systems equipped to respond to current and future challenges in a way that safeguards health for all.

Our mission is to improve the lives of porphyria patients by improving the diagnosis and treatment of these rare conditions. EPNET has been funded by the EU Commission (DG SANCO, PHEA programme). The objective is to provide an effective network of specialist porphyria centres in each country. EPNET contains 28 EU specialist centres that work together to develop an up-to-date approach to the management of patients and families with porphyria that conforms to uniform standards. EPNET focuses on: provision of information to patients (in their own languages) and healthcare professionals (HCPs); collection of information on safety of drugs; use of external quality assessment to develop quality standards for diagnosis and clinical advice; a web-based registry to collect data about the porphyrias to inform clinical practice and healthcare planning. Progress is communicated to partners through regular meetings and reports. Information on the porphyrias and drug selection is made available to patients, public health authorities and HCP’s at www.porphyria-europe.org; www.drugs-porphyria.org.
