The activities of the member associations are adapted to the needs of each particular country and are basically oriented

• to advise, inform and support families/carers of sick children regardless of their illness,
• to promote the welfare of sick children amongst doctors, nurses and other professionals, and
• to negotiate with governmental authorities to improve the care of children in health care services.

The member associations of EACH aim to have the principles of the EACH Charter incorporated in health laws, regulations and guidelines in each European country.
Implementing the EACH Charter means at the same time implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. You can find a summary of particularly relevant articles of the Convention here.
