Autumn has been a time of intense activity for the UEHP. Over the past two months, we have been in more than ten European countries, meeting professionals concerned about the current economic, political and social situation. In the run-up to the 2024 elections, when the stakes are high for the renewal of the European Parliament, the balance of our social space is in a state of turmoil. New collaborative models will have to be found to protect our shared achievements and maintain them in the face of mounting tensions.
UEHP is committed to working as closely as possible with the people and the institutions on the ground, whilst endeavouring to make its voice heard on behalf of the private hospital sector. We recommend reading the latest issue of the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies* “Engaging the private sector in delivering health care and goods: Governance lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic“. This publication, which highlights all our commitments, can only strengthen our involvement in promoting a healthier Europe.
We look forward to seeing you next year, and wish you all a happy and peaceful festive season.
