Court & Care: In Kocani, North Macedonia’s Basic Court resumed taking evidence in the case against Iva Mihaylova, charged over a fatal 2025 traffic crash; the next hearing is set for September 28, when accident-reconstruction experts retained by both sides are expected to testify. Human Rights & Access to Treatment: Mihaylova and Bulgarian MPs say her documents were confiscated after the crash, blocking travel to Bulgaria for medical care for spinal injuries; they argue prosecutors are opposing her departure unless her condition is “life-threatening,” while supporters call for impartial proceedings and guaranteed healthcare access. Public Health Watch: West Nile virus remains active across Europe; North Macedonia has reported multiple deaths this year, and the wider region is seeing ongoing mosquito-borne circulation, with calls for stronger surveillance and public protection measures. Health Cooperation: Bulgaria’s government approved a draft 2026–2028 healthcare cooperation plan with North Macedonia covering primary, specialized and hospital care, disease prevention (including HIV/AIDS), epidemiological surveillance, emergency management, health legislation, statistics and eHealth, plus research and medical technology exchange. Mosquito-Borne Alerts: Reports from Europe also highlight new West Nile activity and malaria cases linked to airport exposure, underscoring the need for vigilance as mosquito seasons continue.
