Public health foresight in light of COVID-19
In 2020, a group of senior public health officials from national and regional public health agencies across Europe came together to discuss current developments in Public Health and implications for the future. This report reflects their insights into some of the most pressing societal challenges and trends for public health in the years ahead, adopting a broad definition of health which encompasses social and environmental factors. This exercise was led by EuroHealthNet and the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).
The conclusions of this exercised include recommendations and pathways for:
- National and regional public health institutes
- Governments
- The European Commission
- International agencies and organisations
- EuroHealthNet
