The appointment of a European Commission First- Vice President for Health should be top of the EU’s to-do list post COVID-19. The elevation of the Health Commissioner position would ensure effective coordination and leadership at high level.
The regulatory role of the EU is indispensable to protect public health and patient safety, and is embedded in the body of EU legislation and programmes overseen by the European Medicines Agency, European Food Safety Agency, European Chemicals Agency and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
