The Impact of Austerity on European Health Systems: Challenges and Reform Strategies

This conference presentation discusses the adverse effects of austerity measures on health systems across Europe, highlighting case studies from Portugal and others. It argues against austerity as an effective approach, suggesting that such policies exacerbate health inequities and undermine universal health care. The paper reviews recent health policy reforms during economic crises, examining user fees, copayments, and the corporatization of health services, and advocates for alternative strategies to preserve and strengthen universal health care systems amidst financial constraints.
