Women's health in the EU political discourse: Then and now 

The topic of women’s health on the EU agenda has been marked by 18 years of inconsistent action, with no distinct movement towards the consideration of a unified approach, despite the welcome development of national and regional women’s health strategies or plans.

 

As we celebrate International Day of Action for Women’s Health today, Weber Shandwick Brussels sought to analyze conversations at EU level and examine regional and national strategies on the topic of women’s health. Women’s health challenges and needs continue to evolve, requiring health systems to be agile to address them now – and in the future.

 

This year, with the upcoming EU elections and impending new EU leadership, it is now more important than ever that we work together to ensure European policymakers put in place concrete actions and measures to advance the Women’s Health Agenda and earmark EU funds addressing longstanding disparities in health research, (digital) health literacy and access to care.
