EU4Health Programme: Transforming Public Health in Europe
The EU's financial strategy and priorities in the health domain are highlighted through the EU4Health programme, aiming to enhance public health in Europe. The HaDEA is actively involved in improving health in the Union, protecting against cross-border health threats, ensuring availability of affordable medicines, and strengthening health systems. Key clusters focus on staying healthy in a changing society, promoting health environments, disease prevention, innovative healthcare access, leveraging new technologies, and sustaining global health industry competitiveness. Emphasis is placed on affordable medicines, European Health Data Space, action against antimicrobial resistance, and cancer prevention, alongside vaccination programs. While the programme signifies a significant funding boost for health, it operates within member state health system frameworks, supporting national efforts where EU collaboration adds value.

The EU4Health programme: a material change in EU funding for health but subject to turbulence Funding 10 8 6 4 2 0 1st 2nd 3rd 4th proposal proposal proposal proposal
Key message 1: Public Health remains a member state level responsibility The EU itself does not run national health systems; it doesn t decide on pricing or reimbursement of medicines; it doesn t run vaccination programmes The EU complements and supports national efforts/ policies in those areas where the member states see added value from EU level collaboration 6
Key message 2: Even though we are in an area of subsidiarity of EU action, there is a lot happening in public health at the EU level - especially post COVID-19 7
Key message 3: financial support for health is important Circa. EUR 15 billion of spending available to support health (sector/ stakeholders) Cohesion policy (ESF and ERDF) Research (Horizon Europe) Digitalisation and innovation (Digital Europe, Connecting Europe Facility & InvestEU) Financial sustainability (Structural reform) Crisis response (Emergency Support Instrument) European Recovery and Resilience facility (20% digital objectives) 8
Key message 4: strategy, strategy, strategy It is not easy The trap: focusing on each amount/ programme as a stand-alone opportunity Sectorial specificities should be considered but are not be the only criterion The solution: strategic planning across sectors EU support for an integrated approach 9
Ask the right questions before embarking in a transformational strategy: e.g. digitalization Why hasn t the digital transformation of healthcare already taken place eHealth: e or health? The role of healthcare professionals? Insufficient funding? Compatibility of data/ dbases/ semantic interoperability? Build a positive dynamic for change COVID-19 was a digital paradigm change Use this (and other positive developments) as a window of opportunity 10
