A sustainability roadmap for the European Health Information Portal

The Health Information Portal (referred to as "the Portal") was established as a 'one-stop-shop' for population health information, aiming to support research and policy development at regional, national, and international level. The Portal's overarching missing is to facilitate the enhancement of the Health Information System, foster more effective population health research and policy initiatives, enhance the capacities of public health workforce, promote consistent application of Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) principles across Member States, and support complience with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for multi-country data analysis. 

To ensure sustainability of the Portal beyong the conclusion of the PHIRI funding period, scheduled to terminate at the end of October 203, the prinicple focus lies in securing future funding for sustained operations. In addition to securing financial support, it is imperative to maintain the accuracy and relevance of the existing information contained within the Portal. Furthermore, when necessary, the Portal must be updated by appending current information to its existing modules and sections, or through the creation of new modules and sections.

Simultaneously, the continual advancement of the Portal's technical infrastructure is essential to ensure seamless interoperability of the information with other relevant portals and websites, thereby enhancing its utility in conjunction with other associated projects and initiatives. Furthermore, it is crucial to maintain an ongoing strategy for the dissemination of information pertaining to the Portal and its contents.
