ABOUT
The EHS Task Force has been set up due to the considerable success with the launching of the European Health Summit last December in 2020. This platform has been designed to drive policy in the domain of health, aside from organizing 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.

In order to position itself as a global leader in health and innovation, the European Union needs a secure, transparent and sovereign framework for data.

The potential of advanced therapies is groundbreaking for patients suffering from rare diseases. The boundaries of research have shifted significantly over the past years. Innovation has reached new heights. It challenges the classic model of regulation, healthcare policies and drug development.
