EUPHA Extra Newsflash - WHO European Ministerial Conference on Health Systems: “Health Systems, Health and Wealth”
The Conference that is held in Tallinn, 25-27 June 2008, hosted by the Government of the Republic of Estonia aims to place health systems high on the political agenda.
Specifically it will:
lead to better understanding of the impact of health systems on people's health and therefore on economic growth in the WHO European Region;
take stock of recent evidence on effective strategies to improve the performance of health systems, given the increasing pressure on them to ensure sustainability and solidarity.
It brings together ministers of health from the 53 Member States in the WHO European Region. About 500 participants are participating in this 2.5 day event. EUPHA is very pleased to be part of the conference with both the president (Dr Ilmo Keskimaki) and the executive director (Dineke Zeegers Paget) attending. If all goes well, the charter on health systems, health and wealth will be signed today!
