Hantavirus Alert at Sea: The MV Hondius outbreak has reached a new phase—after passengers were evacuated, the ship docked in Rotterdam for disinfection, with the remaining 25 crew and two medical staff entering quarantine; Dutch officials say the crew so far has no symptoms, but testing and weekly monitoring are underway as at least 11 cases (nine confirmed) and three deaths have been reported. Nordic-India Health & Tech Push: At the 3rd India-Nordic Summit in Oslo, leaders—including Iceland’s PM Kristrún Mjöll Frostadóttir—elevated ties into a “Green Technology and Innovation Strategic Partnership,” with health-tech and digital health on the agenda. Transplant Drug Deal: Hansa Biopharma and SERB signed a licensing agreement for Idefirix (imlifidase) covering the EU/UK/Switzerland/Norway/Iceland and MENA, aiming to expand desensitization access for highly sensitized kidney transplant patients. Climate as a Health Emergency: Experts urged WHO to declare climate change a global public health emergency, arguing current rules aren’t built for heat, floods, and infectious-disease knock-ons.
