Résumé
Whether there is a public health need for the containment and response
to swine flu, or an individual need to access health care across the
border for a hip operation to alleviate pain, the EU has an increasingly
powerful role in the field of human health. Health law and policy is
deeply tied into fundamental rights, bioethics and values, with
important implications for individuals. However, it is also an expansive
area of economic regulation, of social and state arrangements. The
growing role of the EU in human health law and policy is contested,
particularly as it has implications for the fundamental rights and
values that are enshrined in national health law and policy.
This
book outlines, through case studies, how the expansion of EU power is
taking place through law and policy, in both public health and health
care. How is law and policy in the field of human health adopted, who
are the institutional actors involved, and what is the impact of these
developments for fundamental rights?
