On March 9, 2021, the European Parliament approved the EU4Health programme for 2021-2027 by 631 votes to 32 (with 34 abstentions), establishing what the EU described as its largest-ever standalone health programme, with a budget of roughly EUR 5.1-5.3 billion. The programme - advanced under Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides - funds crisis preparedness, disease prevention and health promotion (with at least 20% dedicated to prevention), stronger health systems and workforce, and digital health, partly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It complements member states' own health policies and underpins the European Health Union agenda.
