The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies is proud to commemorate its silver jubilee and our 25-year journey supporting policy-makers with robust evidence on health systems’ best practices.
The Observatory evidence has been instrumental to member states in navigating challenging times including the financial crisis, refugee crises and the pandemic.
As we look ahead to the next 25 years of health systems, we find ourselves amidst an unprecedented wave of innovations, from artificial intelligence in service delivery to groundbreaking cell and gene therapies. These advances will revolutionize, disrupt and reshape the way health systems operate.
It is crucial to explore how we harness the innovation revolution to enhance the performance of our health systems without compromising sustainability and universal access.
Join us live in Brussels or online to contribute to this engaging debate. We look forward to learning about the plans and policies of WHO/Europe and the European Commission's DG SANTE in this field with you and to hearing national perspectives.
