    State of Play in Europe: Should the EU Adopt a Centralised Strategy in Women’s Health?

    This opening discussion takes a bird’s eye look at the landscape, examining whether a centralised approach
    towards women’s health will play a pivotal role in overcoming the fragmentation of EU healthcare &
    reimbursement to accelerate innovation & investment and improve outcomes. Hear from industry experts as
    they discuss the impact of the 2024 European Parliamentary Elections, and the European Institute of Women’s
    Health’s EU Manifesto for Women’s Health in driving policy changes and consider the impact that the EU4Health
    Programme has in championing EU Financial support of healthcare. Taking a comparative approach, panellists
    will assess what the Women’s Health Strategy for England has contributed towards innovation and research, and
    whether it is a replicable model for the EU.

    being prioritized? What are large pharmaceutical companies looking for, and what are some examples
    partnerships in the space? Join this opening discussion to unpack these questions, and hearing from
    examples of partnerships responsible for leading the way.
