This week marked a significant milestone for the Medtech Europe Cardiovascular Sector Group, which I am honored to chair. After years of dedicated work and unwavering commitment, we are now in the final steps towards a groundbreaking initiative - a Cardiovascular Health Plan for Europe ! Following the inclusion of this initiative into the 5-year priorities of President Van der Leyen, we deeply appreciate the clear dedication of the newly appointed Commissioner for Health, Oliver Varhelyi to tackling Europe’s leading cause of death, building on the success of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. As part of our efforts this week, the Cardiovascular Sector Group conducted 13 impactful meetings with key stakeholders across all three European institutions: the @European Commission, the Council of the EU, and the European Parliament. These discussions reinforced the critical importance of addressing cardiovascular health at the highest policy levels. We eagerly await the adoption of the Council Conclusions on December 3rd and are ready to contribute to this essential work. A heartfelt thank you to all the members of our sector group and to MedTech Europe for their unwavering support and active engagement. Together, we are driving meaningful change for cardiovascular health in Europe.
