These days EU4Health, the European program in the health sector that will accompany us for the next 7 years, came into effect. Let’s find out together<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n
The “mosaic” of European programs from 2021-2027<\/a> is gradually beginning to come together. We recently published important updates regarding Horizon Europe<\/a> and Erasmus+<\/a>. We expect that important updates on all the other programs will gradually appear between the pages of our Guide, more and more frequently.<\/p>\n\n Today we discuss the EU4Health<\/a> program, formerly known (more simply) as the Health program<\/a>. The program is now in its fourth year<\/strong> (the first was in 2003). This latest edition is, among the four, the one accompanied by more political attention and a larger budget. Indeed, the EU4Health program invests in numerous health-related<\/strong> policy<\/strong> issues<\/strong>, many of which have become more evident during the current pandemic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n The priority nature of the area covered by EU4Health led to its swift<\/strong> official<\/strong> approval<\/strong>, earlier than other programs: a priority and speed shared with other programs aimed at combating the consequences of the pandemic, such as REACT-EU<\/a> (aimed at overcoming the economic and social crisis induced by Covid-19) and the well-known Recovery and Resilience Device<\/a> (to which we have devoted several in-depth reviews<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n The legislative path of<\/a> the EU4Health program regulation was concluded<\/strong> last March<\/strong> 26<\/strong> with its final publication in the Official Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The policy debate on this issue has been very multifaceted and has involved various dimensions: all related to one of the EU’s major strategic priorities, the creation of a broader, integrated “European Health Union<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n The areas<\/strong> touched upon in this debate are many, so we will just mention the main ones: technologies<\/a> in support of the health sector; health data sharing<\/a>; border controls<\/a> to deal with health threats; workers’ health<\/a>; preparedness for health emergencies<\/a>; cancer control<\/a>; disease prevention and control<\/a>; study, control and procurement of medicines<\/a>; and the establishment of a common pharmaceutical<\/a> strategy.<\/p>\n\n The EU4Health 2021-2027 program has a total budget of \u20ac5.1 billion<\/strong> (almost 10 times that of the previous Health 2014-2020 program<\/a>), available to strengthen the resilience of health systems, promote innovation in the health sector, and respond to the health emergencies of our time and the future (Covid-19, communicable and noncommunicable diseases, cancer, lifestyle).<\/p>\n\n Thematically<\/strong> ,<\/strong> in addition to combating Covid-19 and cross-border health emergencies, the main health<\/strong> priorities<\/strong> identified are fighting cancer, combating antibiotic resistance, and improving vaccination rates. The recently enacted Regulations<\/a> are very detailed and include 10 objectives, which are in turn broken down into dozens of possible actions: <\/p>\n\n EU4Heath will work in synergy with other funds and programs<\/strong> that may involve similar or related aspects: the ESF<\/strong> (access to health care by vulnerable groups), ERDF<\/strong> (regional health infrastructure), Horizon Europe (health research), RescEU<\/strong> (emergency supplies), Digital Europe and Connecting Europe Facility (digital infrastructure and tools that can be used in health care).<\/p>\n\n Like other major programs, EU4Health offers a variety of<\/strong> effective tools<\/strong> for practitioners and potential beneficiaries. We recall in particular:<\/p>\n\n Also with EU4Health we have all the elements<\/strong> to organize the activity during this year and the rest of the seven-year period. Its presence and recent official launch<\/a> (both closely linked to the broader project of a “European Health Union<\/a>“) are a hopeful sign for Europe’s health future. <\/p>\n\n We look forward to the work program and the first notices shortly. Keep following us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These days EU4Health, the European program in the health sector that will accompany us for the next 7 years, came into effect.
