EU Health Law

Within the ‘Oxford Encyclopedia of EU Law’, published at Oxford University Press (OUP) and edited by Sacha Garben and Laurence Gormley, there are a number of articles focusing on EU health law.

Tamara K. Hervey is the editor of these health-related articles.

In order to clarify how these health-related articles relate to each other, we have developed what we call a ‘OUP Encyclopaedia health tree’.

The overview below visualizes the various contributions of this ‘health tree’. This is a joint effort of the various authors of this ‘OUP Encyclopaedia health tree’, coordinated by the editor Tamara K. Hervey and visualized by Markus Frischhut.
