EUPHA is a member-based organization. The members are represented in the Governing Board, which is responsible for approving the annual report on the activities of the Executive Council, the annual financial report, the work plan and budget for the coming year, as presented by the Executive Council, and the decision to create, dissolve, merge or split EUPHA sections.

At the moment EUPHA has 19 operational sections and one proposed section:
*Child and adolescent public health
*Chronic diseases
*Environment related disease
*Ethics in public health
*Food and nutrition
