FRENCH HEALTHCARE CONFERENCE

Challenges of the health-themed fortnight

The Covid-19 pandemic has raised a number of questions regarding the resources allocated to health services and research in health sciences. Not every country can address the health crisis in the same way. Such an acknowledgement should drive a massive investment in essential public health services. Efforts must be at a national level, but above all collective, as the pandemic has proven to us that our world is deeply interconnected.

By 2030, the health sector will have to face numerous challenges, including access to health services in all areas, the promotion of health professions, the fight against health inequalities, the attractiveness of public hospitals, an ageing population, and the inclusion of disabled people.
