BRUSSELS, Belgium: Without investment in health, there is no economic growth. In a decision reflecting this, the European Parliament has recently voted in favour of the report on the next long-term EU budget, the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). Parliament has called for the budget to reflect the EU’s responsibility to implement the Sustainable Development Goals in areas such as public health, health systems and environment-related health problems.
In addition to the implementation of sustainable goals, the next MFF should also support member states in eliminating growing health inequalities. This and the overall decision have been welcomed by the Council of European Dentists (CED), the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME) and the Pharmaceutical Group of the European Union.
Commenting on the recent vote by the EU, CPME President Dr Jacques de Haller said, “Challenges such as antimicrobial resistance and vaccine hesitancy, lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, dental decay and health workforce shortages underline the necessity to maintain and enforce EU cooperation to protect the health of European population and beyond.”
The European health system is facing a number common challenges, according to Paula Franklin, a former policy analyst for the Social Europe and Well-being Programme of the European Policy Centre, an independent, not-for-profit think tank dedicated to fostering European integration, who wrote the paper Sustainable Development Goal on Health (SDG3): The Opportunity to Make EU Health a Priority, published in May 2017. As some of the most important issues facing the EU, Franklin points to the increasing cost of health care; ageing populations, which can also be associated with a rise in chronic diseases; shortages and an uneven distribution of health professionals; and inequalities in health care access.
Also commenting on the recent decision by the EU, CED President Dr Marco Landi said, “Although we acknowledge that one of the Union’s objectives is to strengthen the internal market, we underline that investment in health and a healthy workforce is a precondition to a sustainable and inclusive economic growth.”
