TCN NETWORK: WHAT IS IT?
In March 2009, EHMA launched a peer network across Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans and other transitional countries for senior health managers and health policy makers. Its main aim is to build health management capacity across transitional countries and to address common health management challenges.
The network is free to join and becoming a member of the network gives participants and their institution several advantages, including access to EHMA's wider networks and at least one year of free EHMA Membership.
Part of the TCN is also a women network for senior health managers and health policy makers. With the network we aim to bring together women in management to discuss gender and leadership issues in transitional countries.
In only 15 months time EHMA has built up a network of 49 members from 15 different countries (click on the text to see the list of members) in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, the Balkans and beyond.
