Advancing Europe’s non-communicable diseases agenda through cross-national collaboration: translating WHO-Europe findings into actionable strategies
Evidence-informed policymaking is needed more than ever. This report is based on a multi-country project which aimed to support countries in their reforms towards a) improved capacity for evidence-informed policymaking in governance and public administration; b) increased awareness, recognition and understanding at the political level, and in the scientific communities, of the actions and investments that are required for science and evidence to be able to fully contribute to well informed policymaking.
This report by WHO Euro reviews the current progress towards the global NCD targets and provides key recommendations for steps needed to achieve them by 2030.
What are the health priorities of the new European Commission?
The article highlights the new EU health priorities, including disease prevention, mental health, resilient healthcare systems, and a broader Planetary Health approach. These initiatives aim to strengthen wellbeing, sustainability, and align with the 2025 European Public Health Conference theme.
