On November 15, CESI's statutory Expert Commission ‘Health Services’ (SAN) met for the first time after the Covid pandemic in Brussels to reassess its priorities in the context of the European Health Union and to set up new goals for healthcare professionals EU wide. it made clear: The future healthcare workforce in the EU needs to be more strengthened and skilled.
The meeting focused on the need for more investments in the healthcare workforce, especially in light of ageing and green and digital megatrends which are creating major changes and put pressure on the qualitative health and care service provision.
Klaus Heeger, CESI Secretary-General, set the stage in the post-Covid-19 context and highlighted the vital role healthcare workers play in our societies: “They are the life support of our communities and they should be valued as such through recognition, remuneration, adequate levels of staffing and good working conditions”, he said.
