Advancing healthcare policy in Europe: a chronological recap of actions

A recap of actions in 2023
Impending changes to European pharmaceutical regulations: part II (January 2023)

In order to prepare its new "Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe", the European Commission organised several public consultations in advance. The present article reproduces extensive excerpts from a report published by the European Parliamentary Research Service, produced in connection with these consultations, which calls for the creation of a "European Medicines Infrastructure".

  • The report published by the European Parliamentary Research Service analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the current pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) model in Europe. It then proposes a new approach to pharmaceutical policy, including the creation of a Europe-­wide public R&D infrastructure.
     
  • Future Prescrire articles will address the announced revisions of the EU's general pharmaceutical legislation and legislation on rare diseases and paediatric drugs.
