    The new version greatly expands the recitals and adds many new calls for action on prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation, care pathways, workforce, medicines access, research and funding. It adds new sections on alcohol, drugs, nutrition and food environments, tobacco and nicotine products, and digital health, data and artificial intelligence. It broadens the text to cover women's cardiovascular health, diabetes, obesity, kidney, liver, lung, skin and rare diseases, mental health, environmental and occupational risks, and inequalities. It adds new commitments on national plans, an EU mission, a dashboard, a knowledge hub, targets, monitoring and evaluation, and cooperation with candidate countries and global partners. The other changes are formal or wording: the forwarding instruction is updated and one phrase in the explanatory statement is rephrased.
