The National Assembly has approved the National Health Strategy 2030. The document sets out three main objectives: sustainable improvement of health and the living environment; ensuring health security and reducing inequalities; and efficient management of resources. 


Reducing premature deaths caused by air pollution by 55%, focusing on cardiovascular disease and cancer, developing organ donation, improving maternal and child healthcare, mental health and psychiatric care are some of the priorities set out in the strategy.
