The EU&#8217;s primary focus on economic integration expanded to managing an overwhelming health emergency. There was success in establishing a shared procurement and vaccine strategy and a new EU preparedness agency.<\/p>\n<p>In the policy brief, he describes the three faces of the EU&#8217;s health policy. From public health coordination, patients&#8217; rights and e-health initiatives to the market to fiscal governance, he focuses on how COVID-19 changed the EU&#8217;s health policy. Additionally, he suggests it is the third face, fiscal governance, to watch in the future. As member states move forward through the pandemic in the next few years, it is unclear if the funding and commitment by member states will continue for the EU&#8217;s health policy.<\/p>\n<h4>About the author<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sph.umich.edu\/faculty-profiles\/greer-scott.html\">Dr. Greer<\/a> is Professor of Health Management and Politics, Global Public Health and Political Science at the University of Michigan.
