EU Health Ministers to hold special meeting on swine flu

By KUNA,

Brussels : Health ministers from the 27-member European Union (EU) will hold an extraordinary meeting in Luxembourg Monday entirely devoted on the swine flu A(H1N1), according to a Swedish EU presidency statement.

The EU Presidency has prepared three questions for the ministers as a basis for their discussion, dealing with how the EU cooperation can be improved further when it comes to public information on the influenza, how the EU can help developing countries meet the challenges brought by the new influenza, and how to improve preparedness on an EU level to maintain important public services.

The meeting is also expected to adopt conclusions on the swine flu related with the vaccination strategy, public information and global strategy to fight the H1N1 virus.
