The European Parliament adopted on Friday a resolution highlighting the need for a better management of chronic diseases. The adopted text is available at https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2020-0205_EN.html.

2. European reference networks for chronic diseases
3. Recognition of the high prevalence of chronic diseases and need for action
4. Prioritisation of prevention
5. Implementation of “health in all policies”
6. Stronger role for the EMA in monitoring and managing drug shortages
7. Call for a European Health Union
