ECR ECR EVENT Promoting Early Detection for Better Cardiovascular Outcomes:Towards Comprehensive Health Check Programmes Across Europe📅 Date:07/05/2026🕐 Time:09:30 - 11:30📍 Location:Room ASP1H1, European Parliament (Brussels)Room ASP1H1, European Parliament (Brussels)About the EventCardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe, despite significant advances in treatment. Persistent challenges—including late diagnosis, inconsistent screening approaches, variations in care pathways, and gaps in prevention—continue to limit progress.On 16 December 2025, the European Commission published the EU Safe Hearts Plan, which includes a flagship initiative for a Council Recommendation on cardiovascular health checks. This Recommendation aims to provide a framework for Member States to implement structured health checks targeting the early detection of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity. It seeks to place screening and diagnosis at the centre of health systems while reducing inequalities through a more standardised, data-driven, and integrated approach.Hosted by+Aurelijus VERYGAMEP Lithuania Member of the European Parliament ECR European Conservatives and Reformists Group | LVŽS Lietuvos valstiečių ir žaliųjų sąjunga Aurelijus VERYGACommitteesENVIEnvironment, Public Health & Food SafetySANTPublic Health (Subcommittee)DelegationsD-JPDelegation for relations with JapanD-UADelegation to the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Association CommitteeDEPADelegation to the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly×Important – This event is by invitation, and only registered participants will be admitted.
