Alin Mituța MEP

Former Member, Special Committee on the Covid-19 Pandemic (COVI)

Alin Mituța hosted an event at the European Parliament to mark the launch of the PROTECT-EUROPE EU4Health project that is ECO is coordinating. We are very grateful for his support.

Commenting on the launch, Alin Mituta Former MEP said: "HPV causes 5% of cancers worldwide. That need not be. More and better communication is paramount, and PROTECT-EUROPE will help provide that. It is hard to overstate the importance of this new initiative and why I have worked closely with ECO to launch it. I look forward to further collaboration on such matters, especially as I am now part of ECO’s National and European Parliamentarians for Cancer Action."
