EU Health Summit 2018

29.11.2018
Brussels, Belgium

A shared vision for the future of health

We put together a set of recommendations that outline our vision for health in Europe and presented them at the first EU Health Summit in November 2018. Our recommendations call upon the next European Commission and European Parliament to bring about necessary changes. The European Commission, in particular, should have the tools and governance in place, including at high level, for ensuring a health perspective in all their policies.
