Goals / Remit
The main objective of the EHFG is to facilitate the establishment of a framework for advising and developing European health policy while recognising the importance of national and regional authorities and decision-making bodies.
By focusing on key issues in the European health arena the Forum considers in particular the following areas, tasks and challenges:
- Discussion of the main short-term and long-term objectives of the working programme of the European Community, the member states, accession candidate countries and the regions as well as their implementation, and the further development of European health policy.
- Detailed discussion of opportunities for integration of health policy across different policy areas.
- Analysis and discussion of the impact of European integration, in particular the Common Market and Economic and Monetary Union on health systems, services and policies.
- Evaluation of current developments and their effects on society, health systems, and services, and in particular the changing role of citizens and patients.
- The exchange of national and regional experience in health policy development and implementation.
The Forum produces a catalogue of recommendations and observations – the Gastein Health Outcomes - for those with responsibility in health policy development and implementation. These are communicated to the national and European institutions. The recommendations are supported by the subsequent publication of a full scientific report of the proceedings.Main EU files targeted

European Health Forum Gastein (EHFG)
Over the past decade the European Health Forum Gastein has developed into an indispensable institution in the scope of European health policy. It has made a decisive contribution to the development of guidelines and above all the cross-border exchange of experience, information and cooperation. The annual European Health Forum Gastein conferenceis a platform for discussion, information exchange and networking by including leading country- and EU-level representatives from the areas of health policy, administration, science, business and patient organisations.
The European Health Forum Gastein is the most important health-related event in the European Union and a meeting point for experts from different fields within the health system. In doing so the EHFG is taking part in the way in which the Commission launches legislative initiatives, with standardised inter-services consultation procedures, new comitology rules, and dialogue with civil society and experts.
The 2015 conference:
"Securing Health in Europe. Balancing priorities, sharing responsibilities"
Current health systems need to safeguard past gains in health while responding to new threats and opportunities which call for a strengthened European public health response.
Though public health security remains high on the agenda, effective health systems go beyond that and are challenged also to engage with issues that lie outside the health sector. Functioning social systems and a resilient economy strongly contribute to a healthy Europe.
European Health Award
The European Health Award honours initiatives aiming to improve public health or healthcare in Europe. It was established in 2007 to promote cross-border cooperation, multi-country working and the development of sustainable, innovative and transferable initiatives which address current challenges such as disparities in health status, access to services and the provision of treatment within Europe.
Young Forum Gastein
A joint project of the International Forum Gastein, the European Commission Directorate Generals SANCO (Health and Consumers) and CONNECT (Communications Networks, Content and Technology) and the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe. It is aimed at young professionals from across Europe who are working in the field of health to:
•Learn about the latest health developments in Europe
•Develop important public health competencies
•Network and make new contacts with an enthusiastic young international, inter-cultural and inter-professional peer group as well as senior experts
•Have privileged access to senior policy-makers and academics in special closed workshop sessions
•Participate in tasks related to the EHFG, such as undertaking interviews, writing session reports, social media activities, compiling the Gastein Health Outcomes or acting as a speaker.
