The\u00a0Covid-19 outbreak<\/a>\u00a0has shown the need for EU countries to better cooperate and coordinate in times of crisis and to strengthen the EU\u2019s capacity to respond effectively to new cross-border health threats.<\/p>\n

Drawing on the lessons learnt, a\u00a0new EU health programme named EU4Health<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0aims to fill the gaps revealed by the pandemic. Member states are primarily competent for health policy, but the EU can complement and support national measures and adopt legislation in specific sectors.<\/p>\n
