The EU spends more than €50m annually on activities to improve our health security, to promote good health – including reducing inequalities and to provide more information and knowledge on health. The money goes on a wide range of issues, including planning for health emergencies, patient safety and reducing injuries and accidents.
There is also funding to promote better nutrition and the safe consumption of alcohol, healthy lifestyles and healthy ageing, to combat the consumption of tobacco and drugs, to prevent major diseases including HIV/Aids and tuberculosis and to exchange knowledge in areas such as gender issues, children’s health and rare diseases. Furthermore, issues that are also affecting public health like for example violence (corporal, mental, sexual), emergency aid or even first aid supplies in third countries are included.
