Proposal for a national pact to improve disease prevention
Official title: Voorstel van resolutie over de invoering en uitvoering van een interfederaal pact inzake gezondheidspreventie.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The proposal calls for a national pact that allocates more funding to health prevention. This would be financed through higher tobacco duties, a minimum price for alcohol, and a tiered tax on sugary soft drinks.
- This affects smokers, consumers, and beverage manufacturers, as well as family doctors, health insurance funds, and schools.
- You would gain access to reimbursed prevention check-ups with your doctor, more health screenings, and support to quit smoking. Meanwhile, tobacco and high-sugar drinks would become more expensive, while sugar-free drinks would be taxed less.
