Abstract

The practically free travelling between Greece and Bulgaria raises the issue of adequate and timely monitoring and exchanging of reliable data and information on contagious diseases, parasitic and other diseases, in order to protect public health. The objective of this article is to approach the preparation of a Joint Cross-Border Action Plan, which will contribute to the improvement of the health status in the intervention area. We collected directly information from executives in both countries, also during joint meetings, analysed and prioritised certain diseases and infections, studied related literature and also included through update on the approach to COVID-19 pandemic, to reach a proposed joint Cross-Border Greece-Bulgaria action plan including objectives and selected performance indicators. Based on the views of the healthcare and authorities’ executives and our research, it was found that the cooperation through a specific plan, supported by a Joint Cross-Border Advisory Board could contribute significantly to the protection of public health.
