The summit looked at the following questions:
- How could policymakers, health professionals, tech leaders, patients and all stakeholders help bridge the gap?
- What were the recent innovations – be they digital or not – in health care and do they reduce or reproduce inequalities?
- Was universal health coverage a lofty dream or an objective we cannot but work towards achieving soon?
- What could be done to address the systemic causes of health inequities?
- To what extend and under which conditions could big data and digitalization contribute to identifying and tackling inequalities and determinants of health?
Interview with Martin Seychell, European Commission deputy director-general for health and food safety, led by Carmen Paun, health care reporter at POLITICO. This was be followed by a panel discussion on the future of European Health where Martin was joined on stage by Sara Cerdas MEP (S&D, Portugal) and Jan Kimpen, chief medical officer at Philips and president of COCIR.

Why the Health Care Summit, and why now?
Health and health care have made exponential progress over the course of a century. But inequalities are still rife. While statistically we enjoy much longer lifespans and better health, disparities in health outcomes in the world but also within the EU are important.
Many factors can affect the health of people and lead to inequalities, like where we live, what we eat, genetics, education or social integration.
