Alzheimer Europe has joined health and patient organisations in the the EU4Health Civil Society Alliance (CSA), in signing a statement addressed to EU Member States, urging them to support:
1. The reinstatement of operating grants in the 2026 EU4Health Work Programme.
2. A strong, dedicated health budget in the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2028-2034.
This follows earlier steps by the CSA, including a complaint to the European Commission and the European Ombudswoman regarding the absence of operating grants in 2025, as well as the publication of a blueprint for a new MFF that can deliver on Europe’s most urgent health priorities. The statements noted that sustained investment in health and civil society is indispensable to secure Europe’s resilience, social cohesionand competitiveness, as well as to ensure that EU health policymaking remains a democratic process.
