Strategy for Public Health
The European Commission's current strategy 'Together for Health: A Strategic Approach for the EU 2008-2013' aims to improve citizens' prosperity, solidarity and security by:
- Improving citizens’ health security
- Promoting health to improve prosperity and solidarity
- Producing and distributing health knowledge
Competence for the organisation and delivery of health services and healthcare is largely held by the Member States, although the EU has the responsibility to give added value through launching actions such as those in relation to cross-border health threats and patient mobility, as well as reducing health inequalities and addressing key health determinants.
