This is the newsletter of HERA, the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority of the European Commission. HERA was set up in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as the Commission service for addressing health emergencies by strengthening the European Union’s ability to prevent, detect and respond to serious cross-border health threats by ensuring the development, manufacturing, procurement, and equitable distribution of key medical countermeasures. Since its establishment in September 2021, HERA has engaged with Member States and various stakeholders, including industry and civil society, to develop activities aimed at improving preparedness and response to health threats in the area of medical countermeasures. It has also contributed significantly to strengthening the global health emergency preparedness and response architecture by collaborating with international partners.
