This week, Europe comes together for . We marked the occasion today at the European Parliament with a special event focused on eliminating HPV-related cancers across Europe. It was organised with European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights and hosted by MEPs Romana Jerković, Tilly Metz and Vlad Voiculescu. 🤝

Alongside our partners, we presented the new edition of the HPV Prevention Policy Atlas and launched ECO's Good Practice Guide on HPV Vaccination.

Two complementary tools, one clear objective: moving from commitment to active implementation. Our Guide covers six thematic areas, grounded in evidence and real country examples, giving policymakers, programme managers, patient organisations and civil society the tools to act. ✍️

The knowledge is there. Now we need consistent, sustained action. 💪

A strong step forward for health in Europe 🇪🇺

The Budget Committee of the European Parliament has now adopted the Parliament’s negotiating position on the next EU long-term budget – and health is firmly back on the agenda!

Elected representatives from across the political spectrum are demanding:
✅ Health be recognised as a key EU strategic area;
✅ Priority programmes, such as those for health and cancer, be reinforced; and
✅ €10.05 billion be ring-fenced and dedicated in the budget for specific health priorities, including Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.

The Parliament has heard Europe's citizens and their hopes for an EU that puts people first. We congratulate the Parliament on its continued leadership during this critical period.

The next steps will be decisive.
📆 The Parliament is set to vote on this position in plenary on 29 April.
📆 The European Council meeting on 23–24 April will determine whether Member States echo the Parliament's ambition.

Our community must ensure elected officials and national governments hear the voices of experts and patient representatives.

The momentum is there. Let’s keep it going.

As negotiations on the EU’s 2028–2034 budget intensify, a clear risk is emerging: health investment may be sidelined. The EU4Health programme could be absorbed into a broad Competitiveness Fund – diluting focus at a time when it’s needed most.

That’s why the European Cancer Organisation and the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health are calling for a dedicated EU health programme to safeguard public health priorities.
