EHS Weekly updates

The European Health Summit 2022 in collaboration with Wildlife Conservation Society, will debate the need for an integral approach that looks into enhancing the health of people, animals and ecosystems. “One Health” is an initiative in which multiple sectors work closely together to improve public health.  Following the announcement from Director General, Ms. Sandra Gallina, for the creation of a brand-new One Health Directorate in DG SANTE, we can see that the European Union (EU) is stepping up efforts in this area. 

EBS is joining forces with the ESGCT to advocate and promote access of gene therapies for patients with unmet needs and specifically of those with ultra rare diseases. The result of this collaboration will not only be reflected during the third annual health summit,  but also further into 2023 and beyond, whereby EBS will support the organisation of the ESGCT congress in Brussels and pave the way for Belgium’s rotating council presidency in 2024 on health priorities.

As president von der Leyen said at the EHS in 2020: “We should take better care of each other. And for many who feel anxious and lost, appropriate, accessible and affordable support can make all the difference.” For this reason, the European Health Summit will have a specific focus on mental health in its December 2022 edition. This discussion will be in line with the EU Commission’ new initiative on mental health and its newly launched EU Health project which assists staff and volunteers supporting people in Ukraine.

Felicia Balan, EBS’ Project Manager for Health, will join the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy Congress in Edinburgh to meet with prominent experts and expand EBS’ network. EBS is dedicated to overcoming the hurdles associated with Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) at European level, the conclusions of which will be presented at the EHS22.

In light of the Israeli President Isaac Herzog’ announcement: “Together with European and international institutions, we can develop the breakthroughs that will enable people to live healthier and longer lives. I am happy to announce that Israel will be working with the WHO to establish a cutting-edge centre for digital health.”; EBS is happy to announce that under the pillar of Digital Health,  this subject will be addressed at EHS2022.

 “Bolstering Health through Nutrition” will be one of the key topics of the EHS 2022. The upcoming new CAP recognises food and health quality as one of its key objectives. Additionally, the European Commission will adopt a cross-continental labelling policy for products, this will lead consumers to make a more sustainable and informed choice when selecting their food.
