EU Commission Health Programme 2013

The Health Programme’s annual work plan for the health programme was adopted on 28 November 2012. Main priorities for 2013 will be:

• Active and healthy ageing – focus on chronic diseases
• Effective ways to invest in health – also health workforce
• Patients' rights and safety
• Advice and data, particularly on sustainable health systems

The work plan will also support the implementation of legislation in the following areas:

• Safety and quality of tissues, cells and blood
• Cross-border healthcare
• Pharmaceuticals and medical devices

 The subsequent call for proposals for projects, conferences and operating grants will be published by mid-December on the Website of the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers (EAHC).
