South-Eastern European Health Network
The SEE Health Network is a political forum set up to coordinate, implement and evaluate the commitments of the Dubrovnik Pledge and its regional projects for developing health policy and services. The main purpose of the Network is to provide leadership and to sustain project ownership by the countries in the region.
The Network was founded in Sofia, Bulgaria, in April 2001 by the signatories of the Dubrovnik Pledge: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, and The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. At its fourth meeting in May 2002, the Network was further strengthened when joined by the Republic of Moldova and three neighboring and donor countries: Greece, Hungary and Slovenia.
The Network comprises of both representatives from the ministries of health of its member countries and representatives of intergovernmental organizations. The Network operates under the auspices of the Social Cohesion Initiative of the Stability Pact. Network meetings are held twice a year and decisions are based on the agreed principles of cooperation.
The projects developed by the Network are coordinated by regional project managers and implemented by country project mangers. In addition, technical advisers and other experts are connected to each project. This means that more than 150 people are involved in the Network at different political and technical levels.
The Network is supported by a secretariat run jointly by the Council of Europe and the WHO Regional Office for Europe.
