🎙️New episode of the "Prepared, not Panicked: The Health Crisis Podcast". 🦟Mosquito-borne diseases are spreading in Europe. Prof. Henrik Salje explains why — and how we can prepare. 🎧🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 Listen on: Spotify🔗sptfy.in/la9e ApplePodcasts🔗podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1880…

Antimicrobial resistance & neglected tropical diseases are 2 growing global threats. We are strengthening preparedness through new R&D investments: 🔹€30 MIL. to accelerate development of new antibiotics; 🔹€20 MIL. to develop medical treatments for dengue. #WorldHealthDay

At the One Health Summit, Commissioner @JozefSikela confirmed the EU commitment to global health resilience with🆕announcements: ✔️Pledge to the @GlobalFund ✔️Health security programmes with @AfricaCDC ✔️R&D investments into AMR and dengue 👉link.europa.eu/cBcNvp

🙌 The European Commission’s DG HERA announces a €30M EU4Health investment managed by KfW, Germany’s Development Bank, to support CARB-X & GARDP. 🌍 This marks the third round of funding from HERA to GARDP for strengthening the global response to #AMR. #AMR is a major health threat, linked to 35,000+ deaths annually in the EU. Yet critical tools like antibiotics, diagnostics and vaccines remain limited. 🤝 Through this new investment, CARB-X will fund early antibacterial research, while GARDP will advance clinical development, including new antibiotics for neonatal sepsis and serious bacterial infections. Together, this end-to-end approach to innovation helps ensure a sustainable flow of new treatments and better access for patients. For GARDP, this means advancing new treatments for drug-resistant infections and ensuring they reach the people who need them most. 🔗 Read more: gardp.org/the-european-c… @KfW I @KfW_int I @CARB_X I @bmftr_bund I @EC_HERA I @koutterson I @Manica_amr #OneHealth #GlobalHealth #AntimicrobialResistance

€50 million to boost R&D to strengthen the global fight against antimicrobial resistance & neglected diseases. Through DG #HERA, the @EU_Commission supports new treatments, from research to patients, strengthening preparedness against health threats. 🔗👉link.europa.eu/cBcNvp

An upcoming #EU4Health call for tenders will aim at developing technologies to prolong the shelf-life of APIs stored in bulk while advancing production of finished dose forms. Keep an eye on the HaDEA website for the future publication of the call: hadea.ec.europa.eu/news/prior-inf…

🌍#WorldHealthDay Health emergencies can affect anyone, anywhere. DG #HERA helps Europe stay prepared — from diagnostics, #vaccines and treatments to faster response to epidemics. Protecting people’s health, when it matters most.

🌎🦟Today at the International One Health Summit in Lyon, hosted by the Government of France, we’re joining leaders from @AFD_France, @francediplo, @ec_hera / @EU_Commission, to discuss why accelerating the development of dengue treatments is more urgent than ever.

🇪🇺🤝🇯🇵 From policy to practice. During her visit to Tokyo, Commissioner @hadjalahbib visited TBC DynaBASE, an advanced pharmaceutical logistics hub designed to ensure medicine supply even during major emergencies. Resilient supply chains are key to global health preparedness.

Preparedness & response go hand in hand: you can’t have one without the other. @JRCS_PR is building a world-class preparedness ecosystem, from school drills to community response plans, proving that investing in readiness saves lives & reduces costs. 🧵

Day 1 in Japan 🇯🇵 Good meeting with Minister @minoru_kiuchi, responsible for CAICM, Japan’s counterpart to @EC_HERA. We share a clear sense of alignment: same threats, same urgency & a common commitment. Preparedness must remain firmly at the top of the political agenda.

New #EU4Health prior information notice (PIN) published with @EU_HaDEA, paving the way for a call for tenders on next-generation treatments for severe infectious diseases. ➡️ Addressing unmet medical needs (e.g. viral infections, sepsis, ARDS) 🔗👉link.europa.eu/rcf9qH

In Brazil 🇧🇷, DG HERA is working with global partners to promote access to medical countermeasures for neglected diseases — especially for people in vulnerable situations. 📌We need to turn global commitments into deliverables for people. #EUinEmergencies

@IRLDeptDefence @roinnslainte @EUCouncil @florikafink 🇮🇪 Ireland is one of EU’s leading biopharmaceutical manufacturing hubs. DG @EU_HERA met today with the Department of the Taoiseach and industry representatives together with @IDAIRELAND to discuss strengthening 🇪🇺’s medical countermeasure production and resilient supply chains.

In Dublin, DG #HERA met with @IRLDeptDefence and @roinnslainte to discuss strengthening health emergency #preparedness, including civil-military cooperation and medical countermeasures. We also discussed priorities ahead of upcoming 🇮🇪’s @EUCouncil Presidency in 2026.

Today is #WorldTuberculosisDay 🫁Tuberculosis is still the world’s leading infectious killer — even though it is preventable and curable. We need faster innovation, better treatments and real access for those who need them most. 🔗👉shorturl.at/Jneff #EUinEmergencies

Honoured to open the EU Preparedness Conference. A key moment to build real momentum for more action. Today’s threats are fast, complex & connected. In Europe, we have a clear choice: hope for the best or face reality and prepare. We are preparing. #PreparednessSavesLives
