| dc.description | A WHO/Europe high-level meeting on Health systems for health and wealth in the context of Health 2020 (a follow-up to the 2008 WHO European Ministerial Conference on Health Systems) was held in Tallinn, Estonia on 17 and 18 October 2013. The objectives of the meeting were to: review the Tallinn Charter and health system strengthening in the context of Health 2020; identify key health system challenges and opportunities to tackle Europe’s major disease burden; share inspiring good practices of ways to strengthen health systems; and start the process of agreeing on future directions for health systems up to 2020. The meeting confirmed considerable enthusiasm for implementing the commitments of the Tallinn Charter, but numerous challenges remained to be faced. The economic and financial crisis continued to have repercussions on health systems, and it was difficult to put intersectorality into practice. On the other hand, the meeting underscored the centrality of patients as front-line workers in delivering their own care and recommended a holistic approach to help them do so. The Tallinn Charter and Health 2020 were synergistic in embodying the same aims, of improving people’s health and reducing health inequalities. This publication was tabled as a background document during the Sixty-fourth session of the Regional Committee for Europe, Copenhagen, 15–18 September 2014. | |
