Details: The Health Programme is the European Commission’s main instrument for implementing the EU health strategy. The programme aims, through projects and other actions it funds, to improve the level of physical and mental health and well-being of EU citizens and reduce health inequalities throughout the Community. In particular, the Programme supports health-promoting and preventive actions that address the major health determinants e.g., nutrition, physical activity, or smoking. The Health Programme is implemented in the form of annual work plans, which the European Commission adopts. The first Programme of Community action in the field of public health (2003-2008) financed over 300 projects and other actions.
