About this event

  • 1 hour

Join us for a groundbreaking webinar delving into the heart of EU health policy and the persistent challenges hindering progress towards health equity and universal health coverage (UHC). In an era where health disparities disproportionately affect marginalized communities, it's imperative to confront the systemic barriers and political complexities that impede equitable health outcomes for all.

In our dynamic discussion, we'll explore the intricate interplay between politics, policy, and health equity, unraveling the tangled web of factors contributing to the stagnation in achieving universal access to quality healthcare. From the social determinants of health to the influence of vested interests, we'll dissect the root causes underlying the glaring disparities in health outcomes across Europe.

Through engaging dialogue and insightful analysis, we'll confront the stark reality that, despite the rhetoric, political will often falls short in addressing the pressing needs of vulnerable populations. By shining a spotlight on these critical issues, we aim to ignite meaningful conversations and inspire actionable solutions towards a future where health equity is not just a distant ideal, but a tangible reality for all Europeans. Join us in the pursuit of transformative change and equity in EU health policy.
