Complementary and Alternative Medicine
(CAM): An investment in health
Date: Thursday 27 June 2013, 09:00-11:00
Venue: European Parliament, Room JAN 6Q1
Keynote speech and conclusion by DG SANCO Commissioner Tonio Borg
CAM is a cost-effective, sustainable means to promote health, prevent and treat
disease. Especially now that Europe faces a growing number of challenges in the
area of healthcare such as an ageing population, antimicrobial resistance,
chronic diseases, maintaining the health workforce, growing levels of mental illhealth,
rising healthcare budgets etc, it is time CAM is given serious
consideration as both innovation and added value for healthcare in Europe.
Many citizens in Europe value the practice of CAM and wish to have equitable
access to CAM provision. Enabling this provision requires transparent common
regulation of CAM practice and training and CAM medicines across the EU.
Speakers from the CAM community and academia have been invited to make
presentations outlining the role of CAM in prevention and treatment, its costeffectiveness
and efficiency, its provision, its integration into the healthcare
system and its suitability for the EU’s current “Investing in Health” policy.
The meeting will offer the opportunity for policy makers and stakeholders to enter
into an active dialogue on a subject that is highly relevant for the health of all EU
citizens. The attendance and input of DG SANCO Commissioner Borg will make
this meeting a unique event.
Thank you for your support, we look forward to welcoming you on 27 June.
Hosted by Alojz Peterle MEP and Sirpa Pietikäinen MEP
