About
There is no better time than now to reflect on what the European Commission and the European Parliament could achieve for health at EU level. Health is a significant asset for Europe, but it is clear that despite facing shared challenges, the EU does not capitalise sufficiently on its health assets.
In 2014, Friends of Europe convened a Health Working Group in order to address the much needed changes to Europe’s health systems and policymaking. This working group brought together a diverse group of stakeholders from across Europe representing policymakers at EU and national level, international organisations, academia, health-related industries and non-governmental organisations.
The final report of this Health Working Group Adapting EU health policy to an evolving Europe, which is now presented and discussed with EU Commissioner for Health & Food Safety Vytenis Andriukaitis, features 21 key recommendations on what the EU should ‘Start’, ‘Stop’ or ‘Do Differently’ during this new mandate to improve the health status of Europeans.
