SAFE was pleased to attend the launch of the new MEP Cardiovascular Health Group at the European Parliament in Brussels. Chaired by MEP Romana Jerković (S&D, Croatia), the group met with around 50 delegates from the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health to discuss the year’s work programme and to mark the launch of a new publication by the Alliance: “A European Cardiovascular Health Plan: The Roadmap.”
Representing SAFE at the event were Arlene Wilkie, our Director General, alongside Liliana Curea from ALIA, Romania, and Adam Siger from Fundacja Udaru Mózgu, Poland. The formation of this dedicated group within the European Parliament represents a significant step forward in driving coordinated EU action to improve cardiovascular health outcomes across member states.
