EU: Strengthened Cooperation with WHO on Pandemic Preparedness
“Today public health faces a new kind of challenge: speed. Diseases move faster and are more unpredictable than ever, racing across borders and continents.”, said Hadja Lahbib, Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management, upon signing an EU4Health contribution agreement worth over 4 million euros with the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence in Berlin on 24 July 2026.
The funding will go towards reinforcing global pandemic preparedness, surveillance and response capacities and will support stronger digital and collaborative pandemic intelligence-sharing. This will turn early signals into a common understanding and practical insights for decision-making in times of emergency. The strategic funding to the WHO Pandemic Hub will help detect emerging health threats faster and more accurately. This reaffirms the European Union's commitment to data-driven, science-based public health intelligence to help inform fast decisions grounded in fact and science.
