A 20% cut jeopardises the implementation of the EU's #mentalhealth strategy. EPHA alongside the #EU4Health CSA calls for EU leadership to prioritise public health funding.

Cuts in #Health 4EU and #HorizonEurope are like

Cuts in #Health are cuts in #People

The EU Council's redeployment of €1B from #EU4Health programme - 20% of EU One Health's budget - is shockingly shortsighted.

As is the speed with which the EU has unlearned the #COVID19 lessons, abandoning people’s health security, and right to health.
