EU member states are responsible for organising and delivering health services and medical care. The EU’s role in health policy is therefore complementary to national policies.

EU policies and actions in public health aim to: protect and improve the health of EU citizens, support the modernisation of health infrastructure,improve the efficiency of Europe's health systems,strengthen preparedness and response measures to cross-border health threats.

In the field of health the EU adopts laws and recommendations to protect people, covering for example health products and patients' rights.

Coordination on public health issues is a necessary consequence of the free movement of people and goods in the internal market. EU cooperation in public health issues serves to tackle common health challenges resulting for example from antimicrobial resistance, preventable chronic diseases and an aging population.
