P2 CLOSING PLENARY SESSION
Organised by International Forum Gastein
The future development of health and health systems will be at the core of this year’s EHFG. We would like to build on last year’s topic of Health in an Age of Austerity by taking the discussion further and asking: “What can we learn from the current financial and political crisis and how can we react in a resilient and innovative way for better population health and more effective health systems?” Recent struggles with the impact of the crisis have shown us the urgent need to rethink current policies and approaches.
In the plenary sessions we will address the following questions:
