hanover has in-depth knowledge of health and related policies in Brussels.
The link between health and European competitiveness is widely recognised, forcing health up the EU’s agenda. In addition, Europe’s ageing societies are placing ever-greater demands on healthcare systems and services, particularly with older people moving freely between member states. Even though key competencies remain national, the EU is increasingly stimulating cooperation across Member States and setting pan-European health priorities and strategic objectives.
hanover has in-depth knowledge of Brussels and experience with the policy substance and the specific dynamics underlying the formulation of health and related policies. This puts us in the strongest position to help our clients navigate the growing complexity of the EU policy environment and to successfully manage and influence their challenges and opportunities.
Healthcare organisations are also affected by EU level decisions not related to health policy. Pharmaceutical policy and related discussions on counterfeit and medicine safety; the extension of key environmental legislation to medical devices and pharmaceuticals; and considerations of the impact of climate change on human health are just three examples in an ever more complex and ambitious EU policy agenda that will affect stakeholders in the health care field.
