To enhance preparedness for potential health crises, European ministers are advocating for the reduction of dependence on a limited number of countries for essential medications like antibiotics and anaesthetics. By diversifying drug supplies, the EU can mitigate risks associated with over-reliance on a few nations, ensuring a more resilient healthcare system. This strategic move aims to safeguard the availability of critical medicines, ultimately protecting public health and well-being. Key initiatives, such as pharmaceutical supply chain optimization and medical supply chain resilience, will be crucial in achieving this goal.
