The Irish Haemochromatosis Association is now a member of the Men’s Health Forum and part of the Planning Committee for Men’s Health Week 9-15th June. Our aim is to encourage and promote positive men’s health on the island of Ireland. The theme this year is ‘shoulder-to-shoulder’ to show that men of all ages are unified, strong, resolute, supportive and connected.
During Men’s Health Week 2025, everyone is being asked to put these positive traits into action and to work together to support the health or men and boys in Ireland. ‘Connecting for health’ is about: policy makers ensuring that men have the resources to live long and healthy lives; service providers offering appropriate tools, advice and support to males; men taking small practical steps to improve their own health; everyone looking out for each and after each other.
Thank you to Colin Fowler and all the 80 plus representative organisations who are part of the Planning Committee for the Men’s Health Forum on the island of Ireland!
