Congratulations to Norway for banning the marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks to children – a timely move to protect the next generation. This action responds to a real public health challenge: more than 1 in 5 school-aged children in Norway are living with overweight or obesity, while 8 in 10 food and drink ads aimed at children promote unhealthy nutrition. Norway’s step shows that governments can act decisively to protect children’s health, and I hope this example encourages other countries across our Region to follow suit.

Pandemic preparedness becomes stronger when science, innovation and cross-border cooperation come together. During the Belgian State Visit to Norway, I was pleased to join Minister-President of Flanders @MDiependaele at @Oslounivsykehus – for a seminar and demonstration on Belgium–Norway cooperation in vaccine research, infectious disease control, and high-level isolation capacity. It was especially valuable to see 🇧🇪 leading experts, including Pierre Van Damme of the University of Antwerp and Erika Vlieghe of Antwerp University Hospital, contribute to this exchange. From vaccination strategies and ecological risks to the safe transport of patients with highly infectious diseases, this exchange highlighted how research, coordination and operational readiness come together in preparing for future health threats.
