Our mission

HEPROGRESS raised awareness about health inequalities and built
expertise/knowledge and motivation for change among politicians and administrators.

• We presented examples of what municipalities and regions in Latvia and Norway could do in practice to prevent the health related marginalisation identified in HEPRO among the age group 45 +.
• We developed policies on how to reduce health inequalities in Østfold and Vidzeme.
• We established sustainable actions aiming at reducing health inequalities in Østfold and Vidzeme.
• We built expertise on social inequalities in health at the University College of Østfold and in the University of Latvia.
• We encouraged universities and university colleges to influence on policy development and local and regional planning in both Østfold and Vidzeme.
