The European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) is pleased to announce the release of its new Position Paper, “Rethinking Healthcare Systems,” along with an EUHA Declaration. These documents are the result of a series of meeting between the members of the EUHA Rethinking Healthcare Systems Advisory Board convened between March and May 2024. The paper and declaration emphasise the urgent need for EU-wide collaboration to transform healthcare systems, positioning university hospitals as proactive driving forces for change. This transformation is essential for building future-proof, resilient and sustainable healthcare systems across Europe.
