John Bowis takes
a keen interest in health issues. Before he became an MEP, John
was a UK Health Minister (1993-96) and then worked on two World
Health Organisation global campaigns (Nations for Mental Health
and Out of the Shadows for epilepsy). Now he follows all health-related
reports in the European Parliament and supports organisations raising
awareness of health issues and conditions in the EU.
John
guided the legislation through Parliament to create a European Centre
for Disease Control to respond to health threats and emergencies
(see link below). He is also the parliamentary rapporteur on mental health and patient mobility.
