Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic created a window of opportunity to strengthen the EU’s role in global health. This paper proposes concrete actions on equitable access to vaccines, global health governance and the EU Global Health Strategy.
The COVID-19 pandemic created a window of opportunity for the EU to strengthen its role as a global health actor. Today, even the most reluctant Member States recognise that overcoming such an unprecedented challenge requires joint effort on many fronts. Given the new reality, this paper proposes a few concrete actions that the EU and its Member States can take on equitable access to vaccines, global health governance and the EU Global Health Strategy.
