The Minister of Health, Dr. Poppy Kanari, is travelling to La Palma, Spain, to participate in the Informal Meeting of Health Ministers of the European Union, organised by the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

During the Informal Council of Health Ministers, topical issues in the health sector will be discussed. The focus will be on digital health and the increasingly enhanced role it plays in the functioning of health systems.

The second topic of discussion will be mental health as an integral part of the general health of the population, with special reference to the mental health of children and young people. The discussion will focus on mental health protection and promotion practices implemented in the Member States and on equal access to healthcare.

Finally, during a working lunch, Health Ministers are expected to exchange views on the promotion of the EU's strategic autonomy in the health sector, with a focus on medicines and medical devices.
