On September 9, 2024, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Stella Kyriakides, and Canada’s Minister of Health, the Honourable Mark Holland, held a virtual meeting to launch the EU-Canada Health Policy Dialogue under the EU-Canada Strategic Partnership Agreement.
The Health Policy Dialogue is focused on cooperation across three priority areas:
- antimicrobial resistance
- health security (including climate-related health risks)
- non-communicable diseases (including cancer and mental health).
A series of knowledge exchanges between the EU and Canada on these priority areas will be organized following this Dialogue. Through this partnership, the EU and Canada will share knowledge, scientific evidence, and best practices to advance the health and safety of people in Europe, Canada, and around the world.
