Healthy populations are essential for Europe to achieve its vision of a secure, competitive, and prosperous continent. Yet, European health systems are navigating a perfect storm: ageing populations, rising chronic diseases, and a health workforce under strain. European societies are facing combined cost-of-living, geopolitical, and climate crises with significant implications for healthcare.
Amid these challenges, we must not lose sight of the extraordinary era we are living in - one of rapidly advancing science and innovation, transforming health and unlocking new possibilities for Europe’s present and future generations.
Keeping the health sector high on the political agenda is essential for the well-being of Europeans, a resilient workforce, the growth of the EU economy, and the security of Europe. This is why, during this EU mandate, we need a robust and integrated strategy for health policy.
What needs to be done in practice?
