Digital health literacy: Are digital tools used by those who would most benefit from them?
The digital divide, privacy, data ownership, liability and safety all pose challenges for the digital transformation of prevention and promotion.
As a trusted source, the health workforce has an unparalleled role in raising awareness and spreading the correct information.
consult general practitioners (GPs) for INFORMATION ON VACCINATION.
4 IN 5 PEOPLE In 2018, only 5 countries reported at least 95% childhood vaccination coverage rates for both doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. In 2007, this threshold was obtained by a much higher number of 14 countries.

More evidence is needed to truly capture access to affordable, preventive and curative health care of good quality.
Affordable, innovative and sustainable medicines? Policymakers struggle to balance accessibility, incentives for pharmaceutical innovation and the fiscal sustainability of health spending.
Skill mix innovations - such as task shifting - show great potential for increasing the resilience of health systems.

Substitution Innovation
An enhanced role for nurses yields equally good quality of care as that provided by doctors for many services.
Pharmacists are providing additional
services, such as raising awareness
about vaccinations or antimicrobial
resistance.
The product life cycle of medicines reveals ample scope for Member State cooperation in ensuring safe, effective and affordable therapies, including everything from rational spending to responsible prescribing.
Poor data quality risks complacency about health system accessibility. Future evidence should also cover things like:
• the level of informal payments• care coordination• health literacy• access to prevention services.
