Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit national healthcare systems on an unprecedented scale. At the same time, European societies are witnessing an ongoing war, growing migration and climate crisis. In order to respond to the global challenges facing national healthcare systems, the European Union (EU) is stepping up its actions to promote resilience of national healthcare systems. This is to ensure adequate availability of healthcare services in times of health crises through numerous actions. Despite limited powers in health, the EU legal system creates a multidimensional order for protection of various health-related interests which touch upon the organisation of the Member States' healthcare systems. This paper navigates the ongoing trends with regard to the EU's health policy and presents the perspective on 'standardisation' of the Member States' healthcare systems.
