The Prague Declaration is a call to action (7 specific asks) for national and European Union policymakers and decision-makers. It is a political document, which is the result of the Czech EU Presidency meeting on FH Paediatric Screening (early detection of inherited high cholesterol) at the Czech Senate in Prague on 6th September 2022. The Prague event addressed the outstanding barriers to the systematic implementation of FH paediatric screening across Europe and the concrete actions needed to move forward. It also builds on the Technical Meeting of the Slovenian EU Presidency in October 2021.
We invite national and regional policymakers across the EU, medical societies, patient and public health organisations, and individual experts to support this declaration and to help ensure that FH Paediatric Screening becomes a reality in Europe, as part of European and national strategies to prevent cardiovascular diseases, and to promote cardiovascular health.
