The European Commission has adopted a Health Strategy setting out the direction for Community Health action in the years to come. The White Paper, 'Together for Health – A Strategic Approach for the EU, 2008-2013', establishes a broad cross-policy framework to respond to a wide range of health challenges in a comprehensive and coherent way. It provides for concrete new actions aiming, among other things, to strengthen European defences against health threats, to increase prevention and early diagnosis of cancer and to equip citizens with the tools they need to make informed decisions about their health. Overall, the strategy aims to help foster good health in an ageing Europe, to protect the European Union’s citizens against health threats and to support dynamic health systems. |
