  • The forthcoming EU global strategy for health will rely less on development policy, unlike in the past, and focus more on pure health issues, Commission’s health policy ‘number-two’ told EURACTIV in an interview.
  • The consultations also echo terms frequently used by the Commission such as having a ‘One Health Approach’ and working towards ‘health in all policies’.
  • Apart from putting more resources towards global health, the consultations addressed some ideas for financing, such as streamlining efforts to avoid duplication and making sure to invest effectively with the knowledge that it will have a real-world impact.
