What is the EU Health Policy Platform?
The EU Health Policy Platform is a collaborative initiative to ease the communication between the Commission services and health stakeholders. It is aimed to be inclusive and to reflect geographical and professional diversity of the participants. The Platform provides a framework for dialogue between the Commission and stakeholders and ensures transparency in the health policy dialogue. It operates in two ways: through an IT Platform - to enable online discussion and collaboration; and through face-to-face meetings - to host targeted thematic discussions.
