The EU Health Prize for Journalists 2010 was awarded to stimulate high-quality journalism that raises awareness of issues related to healthcare and patients' rights.

The Prize was part of the "Europe for patients" campaign, highlighting 11 health policy initiatives. All these are bound by a common goal: better healthcare for all in Europe.

The Prize rewarded journalists who have contributed in a significant way to help citizens understand health issues, and through their work reflect the thoughts and expectations of patients and health workers.

The Prize was awarded in the spirit of respect for media freedom and pluralism and in the context of the Commission's desire to improve communication between the European institutions and European citizens.

The Europe for Patients Campaign and the Journalist Prize are funded under the second community health programme 2008-13.
