The ESR welcomes the European Commission proposals to strengthen crisis preparedness at EU level

The European Commission has put forward a set of proposals to ensure stronger preparedness and response during the current COVID19 pandemic and future health crises. On 11 November 2020, the Commission proposed new regulations on serious cross-border threats to health, and to strengthen the mandate of the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) as well as the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

These acts are open to feedback from the public until the 2 February 2021.

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) welcomed these new initiatives and has highlighted, once again, the essential role of medical imaging and healthcare professionals in framing these proposals.

European Society of Radiology

Founded in 2005, by merging the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and the European Association of Radiology (EAR), the European Society of Radiology (ESR) is an apolitical, non-profit organisation dedicated to strengthening and unifying European radiology.

With 121,608 members across the globe, it has grown to become the largest radiological society in the world and hosts one of the biggest and most innovative scientific meetings in Europe, the European Congress of Radiology, in Vienna each year.

The Society works closely with national radiological societies across Europe and further afield, while establishing relationships with major international organisations from other related fields. It also monitors developments on the EU level which could have an impact on research and practice in radiology, with the best interests of the patient as its overriding goal.

The mission of the European Society of Radiology is to serve the healthcare needs of the general public by supporting scientific research, education and training while constantly striving to improve the quality of radiological practice.
