It is no surprise that EU citizens want better health services. What can the EU do about it?

The right to health is a fundamental principle within the European Pillar of Social Rights and it stands as a shared commitment for all EU member states. The pandemic prompted the realisation that public health needs to have a pivotal relevance in the EU’s political agenda too.

The idea of forging a European Health Union (EHU) has emerged as a pressing imperative. More and more, the European public sector is expected to promote medical and pharmaceutical innovation, control prices, respond to emergencies, make use of the single market to contain costs, support health and e-health infrastructure, address the regional inequalities in health standards and professionals, etc.

Reaffirming the vital role of health in the future of the European project is essential, here you find some ideas on how to do it.
BOOK
By Vytenis Andriukaitis, Gediminas Cerniauskas, Corinne Hinlopen, Ilona Kickbusch, Issam Alsamara and many more
Europeans might question the lack of advancement of official EU cooperation on health policy. Indeed, there is no agreement neither on the overall objectives of reformed EU health policy, nor on its actions and instruments.
Explore the origins and legal background of the concept of a European Health Union, delve into the connections with other EU policies and potential treaty changes. This research, in cooperation with EISHD, will guide you through the most urgent steps towards an inclusive and social EHU. 📕 Read more.

POLICY STUDY
By Gerry Mitchell, Emily Murphy, Sara Bojarczuk and Shana Cohen
Mental health is recognised both as an intrinsic human right and as an invaluable resource by the EU. Together with the Think tank for Action on Social Change (TASC), we examine the mental health systems of France, Ireland and Poland, the scale of mental health issues that have arisen during the pandemic, and the extent to which marginalised and at-risk groups receive targeted support. Read more.
Ensuring the right to health is impossible without a sufficient health workforce. Yet, the sizes of the healthcare workforce differ greatly across the EU. This policy brief highlights why health workforce challenges must be part of discussions on an EHU. It explores how existing EU competencies can be used to address these distributional inequalities. Read more.
