The Swedish Presidency, which started its term in January 2023, has published the priorities for the ongoing semester.
The programme sets out the priorities and main direction for the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union from 1 January until 30 June 2023, namely: Security – unity, Resilience

transition, and Democratic values & the rule of
law.
Although healthcare is not mentioned among the
four top priorities set by the Swedish Presidency, it is
important to note the great amount of legislative work
envisaged in the healthcare field over the next six
months, as discussions will start on some of the most
relevant health-related files, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and substances of human origins.
