P3 CLOSING PLENARY SESSION
Organised by International Forum Gastein
Current health systems need to safeguard past gains in health while responding to new threats and opportunities which call for a strengthened European public health response. Though public health security remains high on the agenda, effective health systems go beyond that and are challenged to also engage with issues that lie outside the health sector. Functioning social systems and a resilient economy strongly contribute to a healthy Europe.
Building on the main discussions and first-hand outcomes of the conference, in this high-level debate we will address topics such as sustainable health systems and health economics with a focus on health system performance and health security.
