Brussels, 13 May. (LaPresse) – ‘The hantavirus outbreak that broke out on a cruise ship attracted attention because it reminded us of our vulnerability in healthcare. We all remember the impact of Covid-19 on our lives. The reality is that the frequency and intensity of epidemics are increasing.” European Commissioner for International Partnerships Jozef Sikela said this at a press conference in Brussels. “The Global Health Resilience Initiative is our answer to three hard truths. First, health threats know no borders. A health crisis everywhere poses a risk everywhere. Preparation pays off. Investing now means saving lives and money in the future. And third, addiction is really dangerous. No country should rely on a handful of providers, since health is no longer the exclusive preserve of doctors, but is actually exploited for geopolitical purposes,” he adds.
