EU health security - How prepared is Europe for emerging cross-border health threats? Thursday, 12 June | 16:30 - 17:45 CET REGISTER HERE
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU and national governments have recognised the need for greater policy infrastructure to support better preparation for future cross-border health security threats. In 2022, the European Commission introduced a Regulation to develop a comprehensive prevention, preparedness and response plan at EU and member state levels.
And in a major step forward, WHO Member States recently forged a draft agreement, to be discussed at the World Health Assembly in May, which aims to strengthen global collaboration on prevention, preparedness and response to future pandemic threats. One growing health concern is the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which occurs when germs no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. The emergence and spread of these drug-resistant infections are also accelerated by human activity, such as conflicts that lead to mass displacement of civilian populations. Health and policy experts argue that further cooperation, transparency and improved procedures are needed among member states.
Against the backdrop of emerging public health issues, join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to discuss the evolving EU policy landscape for health security to ensure Europe is prepared for new and emerging cross-border health threats.
