Bilateral Health Cooperation: Bulgaria’s government approved a 2026–2028 healthcare cooperation plan with North Macedonia, covering primary, specialized and hospital care, prevention of communicable and non-communicable diseases (including HIV/AIDS), epidemiological surveillance, emergency management, health legislation, statistics and eHealth, plus research and medical product exchange. West Nile Virus Alert: North Macedonia reported a fifth West Nile virus death and at least 43 cases, with hospitals seeing near-daily admissions; authorities are running extensive mosquito fumigation in Skopje and other areas and urging people to drain standing water and report dead birds. Regional Outbreak Context: West Nile activity is also rising across Europe, with Greece among countries reporting cases and the Netherlands reporting a domestic infection death; health agencies are pushing stronger mosquito surveillance and public protection measures. Malaria at Frankfurt Airport: Two airport employees died and five others fell ill with malaria, with authorities investigating a possible mosquito-related source linked to aircraft travel. Food Security: FAO estimates show moderate or severe food insecurity affects about 9.2% in North Macedonia (2023–2025), far lower than Albania but still a concern for vulnerable households. Health & Travel Safety: A Turkish dental clinic issued an initial response after a Greek-Canadian patient who received implants in Antalya fell into a coma in Athens, with the family alleging serious complications.
