🦟#Dengue is an emerging health threat for 🇪🇺. Climate change, urbanisation and mobility are creating conditions for dengue to spread beyond traditionally affected regions. #EU can learn from the experience of Asia and Latin America to strengthen #preparedness before cases rise.

🌏Early detection saves lives. DG HERA is supporting the ADWANCE-Asia project with a €2 million #EU4Health grant to strengthen wastewater surveillance and early-warning systems across Asia. Better detection. Faster response. Stronger #preparedness. 🔗👉bit.ly/4ojNaMQ

Nobody could anticipate a #hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship or the current outbreak of the particular #Ebola strain Bundibugyo. Nevertheless as @LaurentMuschel stressed during the morning plenary of the Global Health Security #GHS2026 “we must be prepared for the unexpected".

À Bunia 🇨🇩 pour témoigner du soutien et de la solidarité de l’🇪🇺 aux côtés des personnes affectées par l’Ebola. Aujourd’hui, l’UE mobilise €5M supplémentaires, en plus des €84M alloués en réponse à cette crise, pour soutenir les infrastructures de santé et la recherche.
