The multidimensional threat created by the interaction between COVID-19 and other chronic diseases, such as diabetes, has illustrated the great potential of health data registries and the European Health Data Space (EHDS) to strengthen chronic disease management and health systems resilience. As the number of people living with chronic disease keeps growing, such efforts will be essential to protect the health of these populations – both during syndemics*, and in regular times.

Please join us for this discussion which will be the first in a two-part series co-hosted by the EFPIA Diabetes Platform and the European Diabetes Forum (EUDF), investigating the syndemic threat of COVID-19 and chronic diseases by using diabetes as a case study.
