On 6 November 2025, the BioMed Alliance, together with 19 other civil society organisations representing patients, European Reference Networks (ERNs), healthcare professionals, and the wider health community, published a joint statement urging EU policymakers to secure strong health funding in the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).
While the European Commission’s new MFF proposal sets ambitious goals, health risks being deprioritised. The statement calls on policymakers to ensure that the next EU budget is fit for purpose to address current and future health challenges, by ringfencing the health budget, creating a standalone health window/cluster, ensuring support for priorities that go beyond competitiveness, and continuing support for civil society organisations.
