“We cannot wait for the end of the pandemic to repair the damage and think about the future. We will lay the foundations for a stronger European Health Union, where 27 countries can work together to identify threats, prepare and initiate a collective response.” These are the words with which Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, spoke at the World Health Summit on 25 October 2020.
