Trust is not a “soft” concept in public health—it's a multiplier.

When trust breaks, health outcomes suffer. When it is strong, prevention efforts are more effective, messages are heard, and communities engage.

👉 So what are we seeing across the Region today?

Join our session:
“When trust breaks, health breaks: trust as a multiplier for health promotion outcomes”

Participants will contribute directly to the conversation, with expert reflections helping to shape a clearer picture of how trust is evolving — and what it means for health promotion.

📅 Part of the WHO/Europe consultation:
“Rebooting health promotion – marking 40 years of the Ottawa Charter”

🗓 29–30 April 2026

🎥 The Flycatcher by After Malaria

📅 Public Screening
🗓 24 April 2026
🕕 18:00
📍 Cyprus University of Technology / Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου

Did you know that one of the greatest public health achievements in Europe—the elimination of malaria—happened right here in ?

At the heart of this story is Mehmet Aziz, the man once known as the “Great Liberator” or “fly man”. Leading a nationwide effort that mobilised communities across every village, he played a pivotal role in making Cyprus one of the first countries in the world to purposefully eliminate malaria by 1950.

🎬 The Flycatcher (2026) brings this history back to life—through the life and work of Mehmet Aziz, but also through the voices of people, places, labour struggles, and everyday life in Cyprus during that era. It is a powerful reminder that public health is not just science—it is history, society, and collective effort.

Through layered narratives, the documentary recovers stories that have always been there—but rarely heard—contributing to our shared historical memory.

🔹 Because remembering our public health history is not just about the past—
it is about shaping how we think about health, society, and collective responsibility today.

The screening will be followed by a discussion. This event is organised by an interdepartmental coalition at CUT, under the auspices of the Cyprus Epidemiology and Public Health Association

"Health isn't only created in hospitals".

Actually, hospitals treat disease and restore our health. Health is created, protected and promoted (or not) in the community - where we are born, where we grow, we work, we live and love, and where we age!

We need hospitals to treat disease, but... we'd be more effective focusing on preventing disease, and protecting and promoting health in the community.

Remember the old WHO analogy "want to be a floor-mopper or a tap-turner?"

Andrie Panayiotou Vice-president of the Cyprus Epidemiology and Public Health Association Governing Board speaking about FH and the Perfecto - FH project where Cyprus University of Technology / Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου is a partner.

Take a listen! And, especially how important it is to include people with lived experience from the start as co-designers of the research.

If people get involved in the research, then they are also more likely to participate actively in the research, training, and outreach activities, and hence even more likely that more people will engage, raising awareness. But above all, this ensures the reserach is meaningful, and research outputs and solutions are aligned with people's needs.
