Publications
Health Policy Journal
Since 2013 the European Observatory has established a collaboration with the scientific journal Health Policy. This collaboration enables open access to a selection of articles that are particularly relevant for health policy makers.
Health Policy is intended to be a vehicle for the exploration and discussion of health policy issues and is aimed in particular at enhancing communication between health policy researchers, legislators, decision-makers and professionals concerned with
developing, implementing and analysing health policy.
