Wanted: EU action on health

The new second mandate of the European Parliament Interest Group is an opportunity to focus on innovation in health and social care

Melina Raso

Executive Director, Health First Europe

The COVID-19 outbreak has revealed structural weaknesses and the vulnerability of European healthcare systems, and it has highlighted the need for a common and coordinated response to health threats. Now more than ever, we urgently need more EU actions on health.

The European Parliament Interest Group has begun its second mandate, supported in its day-to-day activity by Health First Europe (HFE). Now, as we celebrate MedTech Week 2020, we must build on the momentum we are generating together to reimagine our healthcare systems.

The Interest Group’s new mandate focuses on prioritising innovation on the EU health and social care agenda, raising awareness of patient-centric solutions for sustainable, accessible and resilient health systems, and seeking broad support from a wide range of MEPs with a view to implement innovative solutions for patients and healthcare professionals.

We have a duty and opportunity to rebuild and strengthen our health systems and co-create safe, innovative, robust and resilient health systems which are future-proofed against any upcoming health-related emergency shocks.

I strongly believe that greater dialogue must exist amongst interested stakeholders and policymakers to facilitate patient-centric care across the continuum of care – from prevention to diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and cure.

This is the reason the European Parliament Interest Group on Innovation in Health and Social Care was created.
