On 8 November 2023, the European Commission adopted the 2023 Enlargement Package, with a detailed assessment of the progress made by Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Türkiye on their respective paths towards accession to the European Union. For the first time, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia were also included in this assessment. The report focused on these countries’ progress in implementing fundamental reforms and provided clear guidance on the priorities ahead. We sat down with Koen Van Dyck, the Head of Unit for Bilateral International Relations, to see how DG SANTE contributes to this process and the work it entails.

The pandemic gave us the momentum to build a new #GlobalHealth Architecture – with more resilient health systems, greater coordination & a comprehensive, #OneHealth approach to global challenges. This was @SandraGallina's message to the Global Health Policy Forum today.

Cancer concerns us all one way or the other. With Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, we are taking important steps and changing the prognosis for every cancer patient and survivor. We’re also working on better prevention and earlier detection. For now, we have 28 projects financed by the #EU4Health programme helping us reach these ambitions.
