Journal Title: Progress in Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

The presidency of the Council of the European Union is a period in which a member state presides over the meetings of the Council of the European Union. While holding the presidency, the state sets its priorities for activities in many areas, such as the social life of EU citizens and the functioning of the EU. Among these activities, there are health priorities that specify in detail the most important problems and goals connected with healthcare systems, the health status and health problems of EU citizens. The aim of this article was to briefly present the health priorities of particular presidencies of the Council of the EU in the past few years and to present the goals of the Polish presidency in matters concerning healthcare and methods developed to reach these goals. The final part of the article discusses the similarities and differences between health priorities of the presidencies held before the Polish presidency.
