Promised during #SOTEU 2020.
Delivered in 2021.
We are launching the European Health Emergency preparedness and Response Authority (HERA).
It is another building block of a stronger #HealthUnion and a major step forward for our crisis preparedness → europa.eu/!FUVnRV

🌍 Outbreaks of infectious diseases are on the rise.
With HERA, we will be better prepared to anticipate potential health crises & address possible gaps in medical countermeasures.
It will work closely with other EU & national agencies, researchers & industry. #HealthUnion

What happens when an emergency hits?
HERA will ensure critical equipment, medicines, vaccines and other medical countermeasures – such as gloves and masks – are available, when and as necessary.
It can activate emergency measures for research, manufacturing and funding.

The pandemic has shown the need to step up EU coordination before, during and after a health crisis.
In 2020, we proposed to build a European #HealthUnion with a Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe, to make sure that patients have access to affordable medicines. #StrongerTogether
