The European Parliament is calling on the European Commission to provide funding to address a shortage of around one million health workers across the EU. Staff shortages in hospitals, care homes and primary care have been flagged as a growing risk to health systems, particularly as populations age and workforce attrition accelerates. MEPs want Brussels to treat health workforce shortages as a European-level problem requiring dedicated financial support.
