EU Commissioner John Dalli and Director General for Health and Consumers, Paola Testori-Coggi, were among 600 health policy experts who took part in the 14th European Forum of Gastein.
Gastein is considered the Davos Forum for Health. This year’s theme was “Innovation and wellbeing: European health in 2020 and beyond”. Discussions included active and healthy ageing, health technology assessment, non-communicable diseases and the future of medicine.
“By the end of this decade, around a third of all Europeans will be 65 years old or over,” said Paola Testori-Coggi in her opening address. “We want all those involved in technology and health to join forces so that our population’s lives are spent as healthy, active and fulfilling as possible.”
