Diabetes and other chronic diseases are putting "mounting pressure" on Europe's health sector, Danish European affairs minister Nicolai Wammen has warned.
Wammen was speaking at a Parliament Magazine debate, co-organised by Novo Nordisk in association with the London School of Economics (LSE), which looked at reducing the burden of diabetes in Europe.
Wammen said that the "Danish presidency has decided to focus on chronic disease care and innovation in member states, the EU and on the global stage".
The Danish minister felt that it was important to push the EU and global aspect as the "challenges are common and closely interconnected".
