FEBS, along with various civil society organizations in the health sector, has publicly endorsed the new statement issued by the BioMed Alliance in Europe, expressing concerns regarding the potential cut of health funding in the next Multiannual Financial Framework.
The Health is wealth: policy makers must preserve investment to protect the health of EU citizens statement expresses 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.
