Traduction de «Dépense de santé » (Français → Anglais) :

In that context, ‘public health’ should be interpreted as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council , namely all elements related to health, namely health status, including morbidity and disability, the determinants having an effect on that health status, health care needs, resources allocated to health care, the provision of, and universal access to, health care as well as health care expenditure and financing, and the causes of mortality.

The OECD and European Commission’s Health at a Glance: Europe 2012 presents key indicators of health status, determinants of health, health care resources and activities, quality of care, health expenditure and financing in 35 European countries, including the 27 EU member states, 5 candidate countries and 3 EFTA countries.

While the report does not show any worsening health outcome due to the crisis, it also underlines that efficient health spending is necessary to ensure the fundamental goal of health systems in EU countries.

Spending on disease prevention accounts for only 3% of total health spending

Further to this call, the EPC and the Commission carried out a thorough investigation of the institutional features of health systems in the EU to better understand the drivers of health expenditure and health expenditure differences across Member States in view of the consequences they could have on the financial sustainability of health systems.
