Health and the European Structural Funds in the new member states.
نویسنده
چکیده
The structural funds are used to promote economic development as part of European Union Cohesion Policy. Previously the main beneficiary countries were in southern Europe and on the periphery. For 2007-13, the funds are being increased, and directed towards the EU's new Member States. The Commission has been working with national health ministries, and regions, to develop expertise in applications and implementation. Fields suitable in the next phase, from 2014 onwards, include social and health care for elderly people and public health research systems. Public health practitioners and academics have relevant skills and advice to provide.
