Together with a general discourse about European sovereignty, refer- ences to health sovereignty have multiplied since the sanitary crisis. In spite of its rather general formulation, health sovereignty refers to a mixture of transformations and evolutions in numerous sectors of European health law regarding drug approval, pharmacovigilance, financing and institutional supervision. Conceived at first essentially as a way of reducing dependency from other countries, health sovereignty can only materialise through major evolutions of European health law.
