Kurzbeschreibung: The EUROPEAN HEALTH FORUM GASTEIN (EHFG) was founded in 1998 as a European health policy conference with the aim of providing a platform for discussion for the various stakeholders in the field of public health and health care. The EHFG has become an unique annual event, bringing together experts, interest groups, politicians and decision-makers representing politics & administration; patients & consumers; business & industry as well as science & academia to debate key health issues.

Integrating various national, regional and European perspectives the Forum facilitates the exchange of views and experience amongst key actors and experts from the 15 EU countries, but also from the rest of the 51 countries of the WHO European region, in particular the EEA countries and the EU candidate countries.

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 will in particular consider the following areas, tasks and challenges:

* Discussion of the main short-term and long-term points of the working programme of the European Community, the member states, accession candidate countries and the regions as well as its 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
