Summer Course on European Health Law & Ethics
European countries are confronted with major health challenges that require a common approach (border crossing infectious diseases, mobility of patients, quality and safety of medical products, devices, data and patent protection, human rights, etc).
This course is designed to explain and examine European Union law and its relevance to EU member states, as well as the role of Council of Europe (CoE) human rights law in health care (informed consent, privacy, medical research, genetics, organ donation, etc).
The objectives of this course are to understand the concept of ‘European health law’, including its rationale, instruments and effectiveness. Therefore, the course will take a close look at several health (related) issues, such as public health, human rights issues in health care, free movement and patient/professional mobility.
Both addressing the EU and CoE perspective.
