EUROPEAN HEADACHE FEDERATION

Since its foundation in 1992, EHF (European Headache Federation), a non-profit organisation, has sought to improve life for those affected by headache in Europe. To do so, EHF dedicates its efforts to improving awareness of headache disorders and their impact amongst governments, health care providers and consumers across Europe.

One of the main objectives of the EHF is to educate Europe about headache. Our teaching of key players such as young doctors, neurologists, general practitioners and all those involved in headache management is focused on the seriousness of headache disorders.

Within its federal structure, EHF supports national headache societies with a specific focus on Eastern European countries.
