Health Law and Ethics

The Health Law and Ethics (HLE) unit supports Member States to develop, implement and evaluate legal and ethical frameworks. This is accomplished by collaborating across a broad range of programme areas, such as health governance, health and rights, health services, communicable diseases, noncommunicable diseases and health through the life course, and emergencies and disasters. HLE also promotes a whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach to legal and ethical reform by engaging with policymakers, regulators, parliamentarians and other stakeholders.
