The European Commission has adopted the EU4Health Work Programme 2024, which allocates EUR 752.4 million of funding, to address health-related issues across the EU. The adoption of the work programme follows a positive opinion from Member States in the EU4Health Programme Committee on 28 November. Key areas of focus include increasing the EU’s crisis preparedness through the European Health Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA), ensuring the rollout of digital initiatives such as the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and delivering on policy areas such as the Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe. Of particular note, the importance civil society organisations in supporting the implementation of EU health policies is recognised, with operating grants of EUR 9 million made available for 2024, with a commitment to publish a call for Framework Partnership Agreements for 2025 to 2026.
