Javier Padilla Bernáldez, Spain’s Health Secretary, has advocated for a collective European approach to managing pharmaceutical costs. Speaking at the European Health Forum in Gastein, he warned that individual nations risk being disadvantaged if they negotiate drug pricing deals in isolation. By forming a united front, European countries could better address the financial pressures associated with medicine procurement. This call for solidarity comes as EU health ministers prepare to convene in Dublin to discuss regional health policy. Meanwhile, the European Parliament's environment committee is scheduled to vote on its position concerning the upcoming Biotech Act, marking another significant development in the bloc's health and industrial regulatory landscape.
