Plenary Session III Plenary Session III Marc Danzon Abstract and speech not available. Integrating Health across Policies Reinhart Waneck As it concerns a very complex matter, this question can be answered either very briefly and quite simply, or in a rather convoluted way. In my following comment I am attempting to find a compromise between the two aforementioned possibilities. First a brief answer: Europe needs a lot of health! So far it has done very little and is, most of all, rather unprepared for future challenges. Now let me enter into the more complex part: What is health? The WHO defines health as a condition of physical, psychological and sociological well being. At the same time we say “Life’s most precious gift is good health!” Therefore our first goal is to preserve health, and the second to restore it. All serious opinion- polls conducted within the EU suggest that its citizens see health, internal safety and education by far as the most important precondition for a safeguarded life and hence range top of the list. In the health-sector, Austria has in the last years, well, in the past decades really, moved far too much, meaning that all of us involved in the health-sector have been unable to really align- within existing performance structures- the medical progress which has been achieved in the meantime to the greater good of man. It is therefore our main task to restore the balance between financial backing and the required medical performance. Besides, there is the other fact that we cannot really predict, where medical progress is going to lead us. It is an unwritten law that a society with a high degree of performance and development, as is the case in Austria, cannot only be asking for access-guarantees to further medical progress, but also has to be prepared to invest into it. This could be achieved either through joint contributions, or cost – sharing. For we all have to be fully aware that the practiced smoke-screen strategy which conveyed the impression that medical care can be available for nothing, is no longer viable economically.
