EAHL 7th Conference in France

The 7th Conference of the EAHL “Innovation & Healthcare New challenges for Europe” was held in Toulouse, France under the auspices of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe (26-27 September 2019). Prior to the conference, a PhD seminar was held, in which young scholars presented their research. This was indeed an inspiring event, which indicated that we have a new generation of promising researchers.

After the PhD seminar, a reception was given in honor of Henriette Roscam Abbing, one of the founding mothers of the association. She gave the lecture: “To receive healthcare in any other European Union country and to be reimbursed – The European Directive on cross border healthcare at the service of European patients” (held in French).

             The conference gathered around 250 participants from over 35 different countries in beautiful surroundings at Hôtel Dieu St Jacques (a former hospital building). Around 140 abstracts were submitted, more than 100 oral presentations were given and almost 40 posters presented. The keynote speakers were:
