How a European health union can strengthen global health

The Lancet Regional Health Europe | Commentary | 25 January 2021

'The current proposal of the European Commission to create a European Health Union in response to the coronavirus outbreak has focused on outbreak preparedness and response, but a much more encompassing approach will be needed. This is difficult because the capacity for global health at EU level, both in the institutional make up and in its external action is still limited. As more far-reaching proposals are made for Member State cooperation and expansion of the EU’ s role internally, these proposals need to be matched by a strong and renewed EU agenda for global health.'
