Launched as a follow up of the XV European Patients’ Rights Day, “Health at the heart of the future of Europe” is the title of the cycle of EU Webinars which Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network is holding to feed the debate of the Conference on the Future of Europe. The main idea is to highlight the priority of health as a common good in the debate of our and of the next generation, prescribing a healthier future for Europeans.
Healthcare, well-being and a healthy lifestyle are vital for all of us. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed a need to work together to build stronger health systems and protect European’s physical and mental health.
While national governments are primarily responsible for healthcare and medical services, European Union health policies can support and strengthen this action.

The cycle of initiatives organized by ACN (II° half 2021 – I° half 2022) with the direct involvement of MEPs, high level experts, leader of civic organizations and PAGs, and citizens aims to contribute to providing a multi-stakeholder vision for a Healthier European Union. By voicing your opinions, hopes and concerns, you can influence the way healthcare is provided in Europe.

Each EU Webinar led by ACN will be realized in the framework of the MEPs Interest Group on “European Patients’ Rights & Cross-Border Healthcare” (2019-2024 Term) and hosted by the multilingual digital platform for the Conference on the Future of Europe, created to enable citizens across the Union to share and exchange ideas and opinions through online events.

As an output of the cycle, recommendations will be forwarded to EU Institutions as a contribution to the Conference for the Future of Europe on the discussed topics. Here you can find the already realized (in June and July 2021) and planned (in September 2021) initiatives led by Cittadinanzattiva-Active Citizenship Network.
