Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play a key role in the field of health at EU and local levels. While they serve patients directly, they also help to address non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cancer, by focusing on important health determinants, such as exposure to second-hand smoke, rare diseases, aging society, and poor lifestyle choices.

To support NGOs in implementing the objectives of the EU4Health programme, HaDEA has launched the call for proposals for operating grants to non-governmental organisations under the 2024 EU4Health Annual Work Programme.

Organisations receiving these grants will:

  • Raise awareness on various health aspects through health literacy and promotion, communication and dissemination, capacity building, and networking activities;
  • Contribute to the optimisation of healthcare activities and practices by providing feedback from patients and facilitating communication with patients;
  • Facilitate the exchange of knowledge and cooperate with other civil society organisations and international organisations.

Estimated budget: €9 000 000
