Brussels, 19/07/2024 – In light of the continued negotiations around the draft Council Conclusions on Improving Cardiovascular Health in the EU, EACH Partners welcomed several Health Attachés from the Permanent Represenations to the EU for a breakfast meeting on cardiovascular health.
The meeting featured two keynote speakers: Assoc. Professor Melinda B. Roaldsen shared her personally story of stroke recovery, reminding us once more why cardiovascular disease should be tackled as a political priority; Professor Paul Dendale underlined how small preventative actions can make huge impacts, the importance of early detection and screening, and areas of support which could be unlocked at the EU level. Our early morning meeting ended with a discussion between EACH Partners and Health Attachés, focused on national progress on CVD action plans.
