PHA Europe is an umbrella association. Our members are national PH associations. There are two main types of memberships: standard and non-standard members.

One of our main goals is to spread the information about PH to facilitate early diagnosis. It also helps for the wider community to better understand the difficulties PH patients are living with in their everyday life.

We participate in a great number of projects, partnerships, working groups and various task forces with the aim of ensuring better quality of life for the patients, best treatment and ultimately a cure for PH.

When we started our «White Spot Program» several years ago, there were many European countries without a PH association. We called these countries «white spots» in Europe. We then decided we would help color the European map. We started by creating an electronic start-up guide. This is a booklet that describes step by step what one should do in order to start a PH association.

In partnership with our valued sponsors we provide educational materials, useful resources and various tools. These programs provides up-to-date information, and serve as a tool during local negotiations and campaigns.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a chronic disease that affects the lungs and the heart and can be rapidly progressing, debilitating, and deadly. PHA Europe wants to support and help patients living with PH by providing information and improving awareness.
