The European Health Forum Gastein is the most important health policy event in Europe and a meeting point for experts from different fields within the health system. It differs greatly from other events which are generally focused on very specific areas. The EHFG aims to highlight the overarching policy topics.

Health in All Politics - a better future for Europe
While efforts to foster inter-sectoral cooperation on health have been successful at times, real challenges remain. The discussions at the 20th European Health Forum Gastein will aim to dig deeper, taking the technocratic concept of Health in All Policies to the political level of policy implementation – Health in All Politics.

Against a background of increasing populism and a post-truth era across Europe and beyond, the challenge to the EHFG on its twentieth anniversary is to build bridges between the different policy areas, guided by the European values of universality, access to good quality care, equity and solidarity.

We invite you to join us in discussing these issues at the EHFG2017.

Kindly note that the online registration for the conference will open in May.
