Initiative summary:
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the need for coordinated EU level action to respond to health emergencies. It revealed gaps in foresight, including demand/supply dimensions, preparedness and response tools. A European Health Emergency Response Authority is a central element for building the European Health Union with better means to strengthen EU preparedness and response to serious cross-border health threats, by enabling rapid availability, access and distribution of needed countermeasures.
