Health for a stronger European Union

High time for action!

Europe stands at a pivotal moment for health and well-being. Health is not only a social good but a strategic pillar of European unity and resilience. Recent crises, from the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis to demographic and technological change, have exposed the limits of fragmented national responses and the risks of weakening solidarity, cross-border cooperation, and trust in scientific evidence.

A stronger European Health Union must be part of a broader vision that counters divisive politics, reinforces shared values, and safeguards the EU’s capacity to act collectively for the well-being of all citizens. As we negotiate the next Multiannual Financial Framework, now is the time for stakeholders to champion health, solidarity, and equity not as costs but as investments for a resilient future.

A Europe fit for the future begins with healthier people, and the time for action is now! Join us in Gastein and online from 29 September - 2 October. Through collaboration and solution-oriented dialogue, the EHFG will provide a dose of sanity in this polarised world
