Theme of the conference

The theme of the conference is “Health Rights Regulations and the Distribution of Healthcare in Europe”. Demographic and social changes, and technological innovations, have significant impact on the affordability of health systems in Europe. The EAHL conference theme addresses challenges within contemporary European (and national) health law from a patient’s rights and a social perspective. Healthcare costs are increasing with the development of personalised medicine, leading to more expensive diagnostics, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The growing demand for health services continues to raise questions about accessibility, affordability and quality of health services, especially for ageing societies. Inequalities in access to healthcare particularly affect socially vulnerable groups: elderly, refugees, migrants (especially those in an irregular situation), children and homeless people.
