European Values
The health systems of the European Union are a central
part of Europe's high levels of social protection, and
contribute to social cohesion and social justice
as well as to sustainable development. The
overarching values of universality, access to good
quality care, equity, and solidarity have been
widely accepted in the work of the different EU
institutions. Together they constitute a set of values
that are shared across Europe.

National Health Policies and Strategies
• "Since partner countries and their governments hold
primary responsibility in this regard, this would
require strengthening their capacities to
develop, regulate, implement and monitor
effective national health policies and
strategies. This process should ensure full
participation of the representatives of civil society
and other relevant stakeholders, including the
private sector."

Consensus based on the SDG

continued progress is required to ensure
human development and dignity. The EU and
its Member States will pursue an end to
hunger, universal health coverage,
universal access to quality education and
training, adequate and sustainable social
protection and decent work for all, within a
healthy environment. They will support
partners in fulfilling their responsibility to
strengthen their national policies and
governance for the sustainable provision of
essential services.
