Health Executive Council

To bridge the gap between business and policy expertise and advance the digital transformation of the health industry, DIGITALEUROPE will launch a new Health Executive Council.

Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl, Director-General of DIGITALEUROPE, said:

“We are proud to launch this Executive Council – the first of its kind – that will bring much-needed industry expertise and concrete success stories to help shape Europe’s health policy debate.

Our healthcare systems – and with them health professionals and patients everywhere in Europe – have been strained by over a year of pandemic. We cannot wait for the next health crisis to urgently upgrade our infrastructure, better use health data, and develop life-saving treatments and devices more quickly and efficiently thanks to digital technologies.

This will require a coordinated, harmonised approach to collecting and sharing health data among Member States through a Common European Health Data Space, as well as simpler rules that will allow innovation to flourish and companies big and small to grow.”
