The EU4Health Civil Society Alliance, of which EPF is part of, has published a letter to European Commission President nominee Ursula von der Leyen calling for the appointment of a Vice-President for Health, Wellbeing and Social Rights.
This appointment will ensure that:
- Health is maintained as a political priority on the EU agenda and the lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic are applied.
- The European Health Union is further implemented, strengthened and deepened, with appropriate funding under the next Multiannual Financial Framework (2028-2034).
- A strong and coordinated EU health policy to counter current pressing challenges and ensure access to healthcare.
