ABOUT

The EHS Task Force has been set up due to the considerable success with the launching of the annual European Health Summit. This platform has been designed to drive policy in the domain of health, aside from organising high-level annual events.
The aim is not only to create a larger healthcare network and provide visibility, but also to be able to steer the process of policy making at the European level and strengthen the link between public and private partnership through the involvement of cross-sectorial stakeholders.

A PHARMA STRATEGY FOR RARE AND NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES?

The revision of the EU’s Pharma Strategy offers a once in a generation opportunity to highlight to current shortcomings and opportunities in EU health policy when it comes to rare and non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes etc.). Given the nature of public-private partnerships in the healthcare landscape, listening to the voices of industry is a key factor when it comes to fostering innovation and translating this into improved patient outcomes.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE EUROPEAN HEALTH DATA SPACE

AI offers unprecedented opportunities for healthcare, such as reduced costs, increased automation and rapid data processing. On the other hand, questions of data privacy, bias and vulnerabilities may also increase health inequalities. As the EU moves towards the implementation of the EHDS, engaging with stakeholders and ensuring that opportunities can be properly harnessed will be essential for its success.

How will the EU pharmaceutical legislation affect competitiveness and innovation in Europe?

As the evolution of the EU pharmaceutical legislation is still being addressed by the stakeholders involved in the sector, some concerns about its potential impact on investment, innovation, and market conditions have been raised. Within the industry, there is apprehension that the regulatory frameworks proposed may pose challenges, potentially hindering investment and innovation, which could, in turn, affect Europe’s competitiveness and attraction compared to its global counterparts. The question now is which points of the pharmaceutical legislation should be revitalised to not only attract investment and stimulate innovation but also to safeguard Europe’s competitiveness in the global market, improve access to medicines and ensure the well-being of the patients.
