Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) supports research project about the European Union’s Health Regulation
With the project: “Applying the rules of the European Health Union” Professor Dorte Sindbjerg Martinsen will delve into EU’s health policy work which have had a significantly growth over the last couple of years.
In October 2020, the European Commission announced a vision of a European Health Union. However, this has long been under construction.
Over time, EU health regulation has grown significantly. Today, the EU regulates cross-border access to healthcare, authorizes and monitors medicines, regulates and controls medical devices, conducts health technology assessments, jointly purchases vaccines, and has recently established a new authority for crisis preparedness for cross-border pandemics.
"Our project will contribute new knowledge about the final link in the implementation chain: citizens', companies' and healthcare professionals' encounter with increasing EU regulation, which ultimately determines the significance and impact of the European Health Union we see emerging," says Dorte Sindbjerg Martinsen, professor at the Department of Political Science.
DFF has granted the project DKK 5.1 million.
