Overview

Against the background of a Commission agenda dictated by the “less is more” principle, the health priorities of the upcoming Luxembourg European Union Presidency will focus on innovative and patient centred health care. These two objectives will guide the work on the revision of legislation in the field of medical devices and medical devices in vitro. They will also steer the reflections on how to facilitate patients’ access to Personalised Medicine, in accordance with the principle of universal and equal access to high quality health care. Patients will again be at the centre of discussions on innovative care models in the context of dementia, as well as on the implementation of the cross-border health care directive.
