How the EU budget is spent: Health Programme

The European Union's third Health Programme for 2014-2020 is designed to complement, support and add value to the policies of the Member States to improve the health of EU citizens and reduce health inequalities, whilst respecting national autonomy in delivering health services and medical care. Its €449 million seven-year budget represents a substantial increase on the €321.5 million financial envelope for the 2008-2013 Health Programme.
