Abstract
Europe faces major health challenges in addition to its well-reported economic and financial difficulties. Despite the overall improvement in population health, significant inequalities remain, with a growing gap between rich and poor. WHO Europe, covering fifty-three member states, is committed to helping European governments meet the complex challenge posed by the "silent epidemic" of noncommunicable diseases. In late 2012 WHO will launch Health 2020, an ambitious new health policyframework and strategy. Its success requires a whole-government and whole-society approach to improving health and well-being, informed by the latest evidence on cost-effective interventions. This review considers the prospects for success.
