- Legenda: Brussels (Belgium), 23/04/2024.- Maltese Minister of Health Jo Etienne Abela briefs the media at the beginning of the informal meeting of health ministers in the Egmont Palace in Brussels, Belgium, 23 April 2024. Healthcare systems are facing staff shortages, uneven distribution, outdated skillsets and an evolving landscape of healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities and placed pressure on the EU's healthcare workforce. Medicine shortages and a steady supply have increased. The meeting of EU health ministers will focus on production, procurement, stockpiling, and pricing of vital medications.The EU's Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP), tackles non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors. By proposing legislative measures to curb tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and unhealthy diets, the EBCP prioritises prevention first. However, the plan's success hinges on active engagement and collaboration from EU member states. (Bélgica, Bruselas) EFE/EPA/OLIVIER MATTHYS ORG XMIT: EA2871
