EU4Health Civil Society Alliance calls for strong and stable budget for EU4Health Programme

The EU4Health Civil Society Alliance, including PAREA as a member, has raised concerns regarding the reduction in the total budget allocated for the EU4Health Programme during the midterm review of the EU Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF). A strong and consistent budget is crucial for strengthening healthcare systems and addressing future health threats.

Therefore, the EU4Health Civil Society Alliance calls on the EU institutions to uphold the objective of meaningful engagement and sustainable funding to fulfil their public health mission within the EU4Health Programme. The Alliance also encourages EU institutions to engage in a dialogue with civil society organisations, recognising them as strategic partners in the operation of the EU4Health programme.
