Digital transformation and the EU Global Health Strategy | Vytenis Andriukaitis

The European Global Health Strategy introduces a robust “health-in-all-policies” approach to ensure that a wide variety of policies genuinely contribute to health goals. It identifies three key enablers for better health, namely digitalisation, research, and a skilled labour force with concrete actions to advance globally in these areas.
Former Commissioner Andriukaitis offered the Symposium a positive, new narrative and agenda for the future of Europe. At the same time, he emphasised the importance of Europe’s technological independence and future standing in the world. Hence, having a “Europe fit for the digital age” is a key development and step forward. The role of policy is vital in the European Union (EU)’s digital vision alongside its key enablers.
