SOUNDBITE (Polish), Bartosz AR&#321;UKOWICZ (EPP, PL), Chair SANT, This is the historic moment when the European Parliament decides to set up the first ever health committee a de facto health sub-committee just after the conclusion of the special committee on the fight against cancer. This shows that we as European politicians understand what the most important needs are and we want to meet the needs of European citizens. About nothing is so worried about a person, as about his health and his loved ones. People send politicians into politics so that politicians change reality, not conform to reality. The COVID pandemic, the increasing scale of cancer shows us that health is what the European Parliament needs to address. We need to develop common European strategies. We need to abolish the disparities between one and the other, change the disparities in the speed of diagnosis, the effectiveness of treatment. That is why we are a community, so that we take care of what is most important about health and life together.
