Abstract
It is well documented that significant health differences exist among European countries.1 The most unfavourable situation is observed in Central and Eastern Europe. Therefore, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway have initiated an EEA/Norway Grants program that aims to provide financial and expert support for tackling health inequalities by promoting physical and mental health in the beneficiary countries, and improving access to and quality of health care services.2 A EUR 184 million (USD 196 million) support package has been allocated to finance public health projects in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, and Lithuania. This letter focuses on the case of Lithuania.
