The Third Programme for the Union’s action in the field of health – Health for Growth (2014-2020) is the main instrument for the implementation of the EU Health Strategy. The total budget for the programme is €449.4 million. The programme has four overarching objectives, namely:
• Promote health, prevent diseases and foster supportive environments for healthy lifestyles taking into account the ‘health in all policies’ principle
• Protect citizens from serious cross-border health threats
• Contribute to innovative, efficient and sustainable health systems
• Facilitate access to better and safer healthcare

An annual work programme setting out priority areas and criteria for funding is adopted by the European Commission and followed by a call for proposals. Priorities for the work programme are based on the thematic areas included in Annex I of Regulation No 282/2014 on the establishment of a third Programme for the Union’s action in the field of health (2014-2020).
