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.

The European Commission’s Health Emergency preparedness and Response Authority (HERA) was set up in 2021 to enhance Europe`s ability to quickly respond to cross border healthcare threats and ensure health security. It will do so by ensuring the timely development, manufacture, procurement, and equitable distribution of essential medical countermeasures, by relying on a strong public private partnership. HERA is currently operational. However, certain gaps and unclarities still remain and this panel will gather relevant cross-sectorial actors to discuss and address them.
