The European Parliament has decided to establish a new standing committee on Public Health, which will replace an existing subcommittee.
The committee will strengthen parliamentary oversight in public health. More specifically, it will oversee pharmaceuticals, health crisis preparedness, and collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
EHTEL sees in this new direction, a way to strengthen the work being done on the secondary use of data for public health & cross-border health threats. EHTEL is the workpackage leader of this work in the xShare project.
