BioMed Alliance has issued a new statement with a range of civil society organisations in the health field, expressing concerns regarding the potential cut of health funding in the next Multiannual Financial Framework. This reduction could seriously impede the implementation of a strong and coordinated European Health Strategy, and ultimately impacting the well-being of citizens, the resilience of the health workforce and Europe’s innovation and competitiveness in the health field.
Healthcare professional organisations, patient organisations and other civil society organisations from the health field call on policy makers to not forget the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and to not weaken their commitment to health and to preserve funding for key health policy and research funding instruments such as EU4Health and the Health Cluster in Horizon Europe.
