Today, the European Commission published an opinion by the Independent Expert Panel on effective ways of investing in health on European solidarity in public health emergencies.
The recommendations in the opinion call to broaden EU competencies and joint efforts and to renew the dialogue with low and middle income countries in the field of health. The Panel advocates for more investment in primary health care integrated with public health, social care and mental health support systems. In further recommendations, the Panel calls for improved EU-level coordination to respond to surges in health care demand, transparent and accountable governance of public and private sector data, strengthened crisis preparedness, monitoring the interplay between trust and solidarity and the inclusion of solidarity as a guiding principle in EU regulations and actions.
