Letter to MEP SANT committee: Prioritise health as a core component of Europe’s new Preparedness Union Strategy.

HEAL has sent a letter to the European Parliament’s Public Health Committee (SANT) ahead of the European Commission’s presentation on its new Preparedness Union Strategy — “Reinforcing Europe’s resilience in a changing world” to the committee.

The letter highlights that reducing exposure to pollution has to be a critical component of an EU preparedness strategy.

HEAL therefore looks to MEPs to raise the importance of prioritising health as a core component of Europe’s new Preparedness Union Strategy.
