The Chairman of the European People’s Party’s (EPP) – Manfred Weber – and the President of the European Society of Cardiology – Franz Weidinger – discussed the disparities, challenges, and opportunities in tackling cardiovascular disease across the European Union (EU).
They emphasize the commitment to creating a European Cardiovascular Health Plan in the next term. This initiative mirrors previous efforts such as Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the successful delivery of the COVID-19 vaccine, showcasing the potential of unifying forces to make a difference in people’s lives.
The goal is to build a Health Union and ensure a better future for all Europeans. This highlights the importance of addressing cardiovascular health on a broader European scale and underscores the potential impact of collaborative efforts in healthcare.
