WHO: Europe's healthcare systems face "permacrisis"
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Overlapping shortages, an aging population, and a workforce "voting with its feet" -- "permacrisis," that's how WHO Europe described the state of healthcare on the continent at the inaugural UEMS Congress in Leuven.
June 18, 2026
'We are no longer preparing for crises. We are actively navigating an era of permanent, overlapping disruptions, the convergence of rapid climate change, demographic shifts, systemic economic uncertainty, and a critical healthcare workforce means that traditional boundaries of healthcare are obsolete,' says Pavlos Theodorakis, senior health policy advisor at the WHO European Office.
