In the Henk Leenen Lecture, Anniek de Ruijter spoke about three "megatrends": demographic change, the digital revolution and climate change, and the challenges this will pose to health law in the future. Specifically, she discussed how these trends may affect the EU's role in regulating health at the national level. What impact does the constitutional position of health care in our society have on the future of the EU? De Ruijter emphasized the crucial role health law will play in coordinating and harmonizing healthcare policies within the European Union.
