Summary
In about two-thirds of EU countries, the responsibility for delivering healthcare services lies not with the central government, but with the regions.
In this episode of Break the Bubble, our Senior Director Valentina Polylas speaks with Michele Calabrò, Director of EUREGHA, the network of European Regional and Local Health Authorities to discuss why regional actors are central to health policy implementation, how EU initiatives can better support and influence what's happening on the ground, and what it really takes to bridge the gap between policy and practice.
How much influence do regional authorities really have when it comes to policy implementation? What can be done at EU level to support what’s happening on the ground? And why should regional voices be at the table when we talk about the future of Europe’s health systems?
