Europe is at a key phase of development. In June 2024, European elections took place. In autumn 2024, Member States nominated their new Commissioners. Other European institutions, like the Council of Member States and European regions are all currently very proactive on their own initiatives. Health, and especially digital health, have become priority topics for many policy-makers and many Europeans. The COVID-19 pandemic was at least one major recent reason why the use of digital health has come to the fore.
EHTEL is well placed, in the heart of Europe, to bring together the voices of European stakeholder groups and provide concrete insights into European policy.
In this context, EHTEL and its members are keen to get active, with other stakeholders, in key priority activities that will positively influence the direction of travel on European digital health and European data.
In recent times, EHTEL has joined with these four alliances, partnerships, and platforms to raise the flag on European health, European digital health, and European health data:
EHTEL is therefore increasing its role on European policy directions, especially on digital transformation. To do so, it is working ever more closely with the various European institutions on the policies that they are developing.
Core among new directions is the European Health Data Space on which EHTEL has provided several briefing papers and is involved in a number of pertinent projects.
In early 2025, the European Parliament announced interesting new public health activities. Meanwhile, the European Union is heading in the direction of bolstering cybersecurity in the healthcare sector.
