Bad Hofgastein
The Gastein valley lies at the heart of the ‘Hohe Tauern’ nature reserve, the largest of its kind in Central Europe. World famous for its thermal springs it is a year round tourist resort offering a large range of high-quality accommodation. Most congress hotels are within walking distance of the congress venue which is located in the centre of this typical Austrian village.
Plenary sessions
The future development of health and health systems will be at the core of this year’s EHFG.
We would like to build on last year’s topic of Health in an Age of Austerity by taking the discussion further and asking: “What can we learn from the current financial and political crisis and how can we react in a resilient and innovative way for better population health and more effective health systems?” Recent struggles with the impact of the crisis have shown us the urgent need to rethink current policies and approaches.
In the plenary sessions we will address the following questions:
- What will future resilient health systems look like?
- On which innovative health system approaches should we concentrate?
- Are policy-makers stepping up to the challenges of the future?
