Summary
The aim of this action is to help reduce the burden of cancer and other NCDs, and related risk factors, both at a personal and societal level, namely by supporting the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan andpolicy initiatives on NCDs.
Detailed Call Description
NCDs such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, represent the major share of the burden of disease in Europe accounting for 80% of deaths. NCDs are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioural factors.
The Commission supports the Member States’ efforts to reduce the burden of NCDs to reach the UN SDGs. In this context, the Commission is working on a new initiative, ‘HealthierTogether – EU NCD Initiative’, which includes five action strands on cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, mental health and neurological disorders, and ahorizontal strand on health determinants.
National authorities will be supported to embed improvements in national policies. NGOs, health professional and patient groups will have the opportunity to engage in the implementation of the actions via various activities reflecting their areas of expertise, that may include public health guidelines, patients’ and caregivers’ consultations, or other actions that can benefit citizens directly.
Activities will run in parallel to the joint action, include implementing targeted projects involving civil society organisations complementing the Member States’ efforts in the design, planning and implementation of best practices, the production of public health guidelines, patients’ and caregivers’ consultations, or other actions that can benefit citizens directly, the preparation and roll out of innovative practices (pilot test), and support actions such as training and twinning, health communication or health literacy. The activities include provision of input via the Health Policy Platform, namely as regards their role inimplementation. Activities should also include an equity dimension and aim at reducing health inequalities.
