The 2022 edition of Health at a Glance: Europe examines the key challenges European countries must address to develop stronger, more resilient health systems following the acute phase of the COVID‑19 pandemic.
It includes a special focus on how the pandemic has affected young people’s mental and physical health.
The report emphasises the need for additional measures to prevent the COVID‑19 pandemic from scarring a generation of young people.
This edition of Health at a Glance: Europe also assesses the pandemic’s disruption of a wide range of health services for non‑COVID patients, as well as the policy responses European countries deployed to mitigate the negative consequences of these disruptions.
It also addresses a number of critical behavioural and environmental risk factors that have significantly impacted people's health and mortality, emphasising the importance of focusing more on the prevention of both communicable and non-communicable diseases.
