Doubt they realize it, but the most important thing Sanchez did for "global health" the past two years was his clear stance on Gaza. www.reuters.com/world/reuter... "Gates Foundation recognizes Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez for global health support".

European Medicines Agency: “In the EU, paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) can be used for reducing pain or fever during pregnancy if clinically needed. There is currently no new evidence that would require changes to the current EU recommendations for use.”

Together with many European medicines authorities, we’re joining the campaign #medicinesarenotsweets🍬

Make sure you use over-the-counter medicines safely. They may be easy to buy, but they are not candy.

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children.

Pay all workers a living wage.

We need to end starvation in Gaza, get hostages home, secure ceasefire that restores hope of two state solution.

This can be done. For our part we’re relentlessly focused on practical aid delivery.

Here’s why aid isn’t getting through, and what’s needed to save lives. ⬇️
Enough. Gaza is starving. Ceasefire now. We must save as many lives as we can – and we have a plan.

My update to UN Member States on the steps necessary to stop this horror👇

Europe's food system needs a reset, and so does the CAP. Consumers want food that’s healthy, affordable and sustainable. Yet the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) still largely ignores these priorities. All the results from our survey: www.beuc.eu/press-releas...

In the last months, 'competitiveness' has been on everyone's lips. The EU to ensure that European industry delivers safe, sustainable and affordable products to consumers, which will allow the European economy to fill the growth gap with powers like the United States and China.
