As we approach the 2024 European Parliament elections and the subsequent formation of a new European Commission, what should be the European Union's health priorities? Do we build on the achievements of the past few years, do we maintain the status quo, or even reconsider certain measures?

Recognizing the need for an informed debate, the Directorate General for Health and Food Safety has tasked the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies with organizing a public debate. This debate is designed to engage different audiences and give voice to policy makers and different stakeholders. Nine themes have been identified and outlined to guide the discussion. Following events held at various conferences, the Observatory is now facilitating webinars to delve deeper into each of these themes and engage in comprehensive discussions.

The third webinar of the series will deal with the following three themes:

  • Enhancing health security
  • Addressing long term challenges, such as population ageing or climate change
  • Strengthening the EU's global voice and leadership

This will be a highly interactive format, to allow for debate, comments and suggestions.

Speakers and facilitators include:

  • Caroline Costongs, EuroHealthNet (Keynote)
  • Isabel de la Mata, DG SANTE, European Commission
  • Nicole Mauer, European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies
  • Matthias Wismar, European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies

With a welcome message from Sandra Gallina, Director-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE), European Commission
