Common Challenges Getting health on the policy agenda Improving health and well being Reducing health inequalities Making the link between health and wealth Ensuring affordable, accessible, sustainable health care Guaranteeing harmonious and balanced co- existence of health care systems

Health on the policy agenda At a European level –Upcoming IGC At a national level –Involvement of Parliaments –Ministers for Public Health At regional levels In commerce and industry

Improving health and well being Successful health strategies –Political commitment and consensus –Ownership from stakeholders –Intersectoral approach –Explicit appropriate priorities for health gain –Settings and supportive environments –Build on strong institutions –Monitoring and evaluation of indicators

Reducing health inequalities Health inequalities reflect inequalities in the distribution of health determinants Health inequalities exist within all European countries Health inequalities exist between European countries Social gradient rather than a health divide requiring population wide differential impact policies

Making the link between health and wealth Knowledge that health can result from wealth and that poor health is linked to poor socio economic conditions Less known about effective interventions Knowledge that good health breeds wealth through enhanced competitiveness Less known about link between wealth and health care spending

Affordable, accessible, sustainable health care Demographic trends Expensive technology Funding of pharmaceuticals Development of primary care Efficient use of healthcare resources Reforms in financing and organisation across Europe but no evidence of quick fix solutions

Harmonious and balanced co- existence of health care systems Stark differences in health and health care systems across Europe Need to ensure adequate supply of health professionals throughout Europe through planning and ethical recruitment Accessibility to innovative medicines across Europe Patient flows – to what extent?

Diversity in an enlarged Europe The challenges may be similar but: The magnitude and extent of the problems is different The contexts are different The resources available to tackle the problems are different Therefore the appropriate responses may need to be different

A role for all stakeholders

Supra-national level Facilitating and supportive role Gathering of information Assisting with monitoring of progress Providing training opportunities Addressing macroeconomic issues Supporting initiatives between member states and regions

National level Long term prospects Parliament and political consensus Encourage ownership of health strategies Support implementation of strategies Monitor and evaluate progress Duty for collaboration with other MS

Regions Ensure efficient health care devlivery Support for national public health strategies Inter-regional collaboration Sharing of expertise and resources

Commerce and industry Duty to engage in health and health care Provide supportive workplace environments Invest in health and health care in partnership with governments

Health care professionals Associations, regulatory bodies, individuals Engaged in the issues relating to public health and sustainable health care Standards for training - academia Exchange of research and knowledge European wide human resource planning Harnessing professional flows for positive effects

Patients and citizens Drivers of the health care system The public health statistics Consumers of health care expenditure Responsibility for health Involvement in health politics Support for creating active civil society in the new MS

Conclusions We have what to build on –Knowledge –Legislation –Health strategies –Trained health care workforce –Infrastructure –Some success stories

Conclusions But there remains more to be done Interventional research Monitoring and evaluation Fostering real partnerships across Europe Expanding the base for collaboration Communicating clearly in a two way fashion with Europeans
