Today, on this tragic 50th anniversary, and every day, we stand with Cyprus. We stand in support of territorial integrity and sovereignty. Cypriots deserve to live in a reunited country in conditions of peace, co-existence, stability and prosperity. The Cyprus question is a

50 χρόνια από την τουρκική εισβολή και κατοχή μέρους της 🇨🇾. Στην 🇪🇺ΕΕ δεν χωράνε διαχωριστικές γραμμές. Η ΕΕ είναι έτοιμη να συνδράμει στην επίλυση του Κυπριακού προβλήματος. Ο Κυπριακός λαός δικαιούται να κτίσει από κοινού το δικό του μέλλον στη δική του επανενωμένη πατρίδα.

Productive meeting with EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe. I thanked them for their cooperation and strong support to build an 🇪🇺 #HealthUnion over the last few years with key legislstive initiatives. We will continue working closely in the next months to support patients living with rare diseases.

Important call with Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus following the discovery of the polio virus in wastewater in #Gaza. We will be working together to protect children from further risks.

The 1st 🇪🇺 coordinated medical evacuation of Palestinian children and family members just took place from Egypt 🇪🇬 to Spain 🇪🇸. We must redouble our efforts to ensure safe medical evacuations for those in urgent need in #Gaza, in particular children. europa.eu/!VW9Fvt

Today is #WorldHepatitisDay. In our 🇪🇺 #HealthUnion, everyone should have access to necessary healthcare services, vaccination and medicines. Our goal is a future where hepatitis is no longer a public health threat and patients receive treatment when and where they need it!

Having a coordinated approach at 🇪🇺 level is essential to prevent potential outbreaks of #mpox cases. The EU Health Security Committee met today to discuss preparedness and the way forward to protect our citizens.

I have written to 🇪🇺 Health Ministers regarding plans to donate #mpox vaccines & therapeutics. ➡️🌍 solidarity is key to facing global health threats. We count on Member States to support our African partners in managing the outbreak. European Commission stands ready to coordinate.

Today we have authorised for use in 🇪🇺 the first non-COVID mRNA vaccine to tackle RSV cases. In a strong #HealthUnion, all citizens must have access to the protection they need against serious illness.

Our healthcare systems rely on nurses. Without them caring for people in Europe would be impossible. We have signed an agreement with WHO at the EU to attract and retain nurses across 🇪🇺. A vital step to solve serious healthcare workforce issues. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

Accessible healthcare for everyone in Europe 🇪🇺 is one of our most important priorities. The European Health Data Space is making this a reality by facilitating the exchange of data: an excellent example is e-prescriptions that can now travel beyond borders. #HealthUnion
