Health Futures in a post-truth world

Thursday, 5 October 2017 | 16.00-18.30 | Kursaal C

Organised by European Health Forum Gastein

In some of the more recent election campaigns in EU Member States, health has taken centre-stage as a bargaining tool to win over voters. What has often been neglected in this context are the aspirations to either comprehensiveness or correctness of the information provided.

In this session, we want to explore the perceived status quo of our post-truth reality. To help us move forward, it will be our pleasure to then introduce you to three alternative scenarios for health in 2037, the outcomes of our EHFG Health Futures Project 2017. These visions are neither predictions nor recommendations for the future of health in Europe, but shall help us assess the policy choices we make today against a longer-term horizon. We invite you to lend your stakeholder and personal perspectives to each of the EHFG “health future” scenarios, to test ideas on how our roles and the choices we will have to make might change over time.
