”Stay Healthy, Stop Mercury” is a joint campaign by the Health and Environment Alliance and Health Care Without Harm Europe aiming to mobilise the health community in Europe for a global ban on mercury. The activities are focused on raising awareness of the risks to health, especially for babies and pregnant women, and on working with women and health care professionals on how they can protect themselves and the environment from mercury exposure.
