A "not guilty" verdict for "Men" was the outcome of a simulated "court case" at the European Health Forum Gastein, the European Union's leading congress in health politics. Clinical Solutions formed part of the jury of health professionals, NGOs and policy makers that sought to identify responsibility for the early death of men across Europe. They incriminated the variations of emphasis by member states on early diagnosis, as well as the "one policy fits all" approach when it comes to men's health. The European Health Forum called for reform of EU public health policies to reduce the early death rate of men in Europe.
