EACH Charter

The European Association for Children in Hospital, or EACH for short, is a European umbrella organisation that campaigns for the well-being of sick children in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

To address their needs before, during, and after stays in healthcare facilities, EACH has defined 10 rights for children and caregivers. Many aspects of the Convention on the Rights of the Child are reflected in these 10 articles. The aim is to create the best possible conditions for all children to achieve the highest attainable standard of health.

Further information on the rights of children and adolescents in hospital can be found on the website of the Gesundheitsportal:
