| Annotation | Europe's health systems are facing an ageing population and a rise in rates of chronic diseases. These are threatening universal access to care and the sustainability of health systems, given that Europe is still recovering from the economic crisis. A new phenomenon is the migrant challenge. This article outlines various issues related to demography and diversity which affect health systems. It summarises the ways in which the European Commission tries to support Member States both through tried and tested methods, and through European Union (EU) cooperation or innovative solutions for health - in particular, eHealth and Health Technology Assessment.
