4 - 6 October, Bad Hofgastein
A major feature of the EHFG is its broad range of topics: issues such as the refugee crisis and its impact on health systems are just as current as topics like the affordability of innovative medicines. Thus, the Gastein Forum is a meeting place for experts from different sections of the health system and beyond, and is fundamentally different from events which are specialised in highly restricted areas.
We have invited our participants and speakers to discuss how we can move forward in several concrete areas: Health in All Policies, Health systems, Access to medicines and Innovation, Big Data & ICT. We are pleased to share with you first results.
