The OECD, together with the European Commission, will launch Health at a Glance: Europe 2024 on Monday 18 November at 12:00pm CET/11:00am GMT.
The 2024 edition highlights the critical challenges European health systems face as they continue their recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and respond to the challenges and opportunities brought about by digitalisation, climate change and demographic changes. This year's report focuses on two pivotal themes: addressing severe health workforce shortages and promoting healthy longevity in an ageing population. It also provides comparisons of health status, risk factors to health, health expenditure, access to care and quality of care in 40 European countries.
A webinar to discuss the findings will take place at 14:00 CET the same day with OECD and other experts, including Mark Pearson, OECD Deputy-Director for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, and Sandra Gallina, European Commission Director General, DG Health and Food Safety.
