Upcoming EU Strategic Agenda 2024-2029: Eurocarers joins the signatories of an open letter to European decision-makers
Together with EU social and health stakeholders, Eurocarers urge the Council of the European Union and Member States to ensure that the EU Strategic Agenda 2024–2029 keeps social and health ambitions high, as a prerequisite to achieving a “strong, dynamic, competitive and cohesive Europe”.
The COVID 19 pandemic rightly highlighted the vital importance of having robust and resilient health and social protection systems. The concurrent challenges of population ageing, climate change, cost-of-living increases, accessibility and affordability of healthcare can only be overcome by giving health and social priorities the attention they deserve. Only then will the EU be able to build a European Union fit for the future, with resilient and sustainable social security and health care systems that serve economic prosperity.
