EU4Health

EU4Health is a stand-alone programme and with a budget more than ten times that of previous health programmes, it is the largest health programme ever. Its activities are in keeping with the One Health approach bringing together human and animal health and the environment. EU4Health will make over €5 billion available over the next seven years (2021-2027) to improve and foster health in the European Union to reduce the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases by:

• protecting people from serious cross-border health threats;
• improving the availability, accessibility and affordability of medicines, medical devices and other crisis relevant products in the EU;
• strengthening national health systems.

The EU4Health programme is an implementation tool for EU health policy and may support and encourage innovation regarding medicinal products and medical devices, and crisis-relevant products in the Union. EU4Health will work closely with the European Commission's main research programme, Horizon Europe, which includes a health cluster.

EU4Health will provide funding to eligible entities, health organisations and NGOs from EU countries, or non-EU countries associated to the programme.
