Description

In 2024, European citizens will vote for a new European Parliament. The ongoing political cycle has coincided with a health crisis that has reshaped the European Union’s policies and opened a window of opportunity for health and health systems. There is now a unique opportunity to assess past achievements and consider future goals in the field of health. The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, in agreement with the EC Directorate General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE), has launched a public debate. This initiative invites input from different stakeholders and the public to inform future EU health priorities. The article highlights key events and milestones planned within this public discourse.
