The Coronavirus pandemic is posing the greatest threat to European healthcare systems in generations. It has revealed the prolonged underinvestment in the healthcare sector, from Personal Protective Equipment, the capacity of Primary Care and ICUs, to the digitisation of Europe’s healthcare infrastructure. In addition, the existing medical imaging equipment in Europe needs to be renewed. One fifth of the equipment in use is more than ten years old, challenging to maintain and repair, and even inadequate for some procedures. Furthermore, there are still considerable disparities in healthcare infrastructure across Europe, and investments are needed to ensure equal access to healthcare. We must urgently address these challenges to move towards the recovery and prosperity of Europe.
