This Handbook offers a rigorous and wide-ranging examination of the evolving role of EU policy in the domain of health. Bringing together scholarly and practitioner perspectives, interdisciplinary experts from across the field weave together theoretical and policy approaches to deliver a cutting-edge overview of EU health policy and data.

Opening with a stocktake of the institutional and organizational architecture of healthcare systems across the EU member states, the Handbook provides a thorough analysis of the Europeanisation of healthcare - its instruments, governance structures and outcomes. The volume reaches well beyond European public policy to engage with the legal, economic, philosophical and societal dimensions of EU health policymaking. Contributors trace the historical development of EU health policy, including the ongoing debates around the 2028-2034 multi-annual financial framework, and offer a multidisciplinary and forward-looking perspective on topics such as pharmaceuticals, digital health and the transformative role of AI in healthcare.

Students and scholars of health policy and economics, European public policy, European integration, legal studies and medicine will find in this Handbook a uniquely comprehensive resource. It is equally essential reading for health policymakers and healthcare professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the regulatory forces shaping their work.
