EU and WHO-Agenda
In general, the EU actually has no powers in the health field, but it does set up health programs. The EU, WHO, and UN proposals apply to the individual nation states and can be implemented voluntarily.
Health in all Politics
Health topics are included in the United Nations’ seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the political institutions have yet to prove whether a purely disease-related vantage point-pathogenesis can be replaced by a health-promoting vantage point-salutogenesis.
Prevention and Patients Rights
Health literacy and self-improvement is the foundation of prevention; inclusive in this is all activities to strengthen the immune system. However, natural prevention is more than hygiene and infection control, or imaging techniques. CAM methods offer a full-range and wide-breadth of preventive measures and practices.
Medicines and Medical Devices EMA
Many small and family based manufacturers and/or companies produce organic and biological medicines. It is not easy for these manufacturers or companies because they have to follow the same rules and regulations set up for the multi-billion dollar “big pharma” industry.
Food and Supplements EFSA
Food should be your remedy! Dietary supplements are part of food law and, if approved by the authorities, can use health-related statements. Because the approval is easier and cheaper, many manufacturers take this route. The EU-agency EFSA also works related to pesticides and bee-products.
