In October 2003, a new and enhanced health and social programme for the years
2004-2007 was adopted by the Barents Euro Arctic Council (BEAC). The Cooperation
Programme on Health and Related Social Issues in the Barents Euro-Arctic
Region 2004-2007 has a stronger emphasis on social aspects, multilateral action
and coordination than the first programme. Special attention will be paid to gender
mainstreaming, children and young people, and to vulnerable groups in the population.

Priority areas are defined as:
1. Prevention and combat of communicable diseases
2. Prevention of lifestyle related health and social problems and promotion
of healthy lifestyles
3. Development and integration of primary health care and social services

The Cooperation Programme on Health and Related Social Issues in the Barents
Euro-Arctic Region 2004-2007 has been developed with the Second Northern
Dimension Action Plan and the Northern Dimension Partnership in Health and
Social Wellbeing in mind. The new Barents Health programme is intended to
constitute a key component of the Partnership.
