EU Health Ministers Meet in Budapest Regarding Illegal Migrants

Four European Union Ministers – among them Greek Health Minister Andreas Loverdos – on Tuesday asked the European Commission to take necessary action to safeguard public health from the dangers posed by illegal migrants.
The issue was raised by the Health Ministers of Greece, Cyprus, Spain and Italy at an informal meeting of EU Health Ministers held in Budapest.
Noting the links between public health and illegal migration, the Ministers expressed concern about the repercussions of uncontrolled migration on public health due to the “very different epidemiological profile” of the populations arriving to those of the EU.
They call for measures to assist countries receiving large numbers of illegal migrants, in collaboration with the European Centre for the Prevention and Control of Diseases and the European bureau of the World Health Organisation.
The four Ministers also noted that a meeting in Rome on April 13th on this issue will be useful for launching cooperation.
