Countdown to EU Cardiovascular Health Plan: Key Stakeholders Gather at EACH Summit
The EACH Cardiovascular Health Summit 2025 gathers policymakers, researchers, patients, and health leaders in Brussels on 10–11 December to advance a shared vision for improved cardiovascular health across Europe.
The two-day event marks a historic moment for the cardiovascular community, with the imminent adoption of the EU Cardiovascular Health Plan.
The press release highlights the key themes and announcements of the Summit, including the keynote address by EU Health Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi on the forthcoming launch of the EU Cardiovascular Health Plan.
Next week, we will adopt the EU Cardiovascular Health Plan under the name Safe Hearts Plan. Successful implementation can only be achieved through robust, long-term funding. A micro-levy on unhealthy food, following the polluter-pays principle, will help mitigate the impact of cardiovascular disease on society and finance the EU Cardiovascular Health Plan.
– Olivér Várhelyi, European Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare
