The Health Cluster aims to promote and protect human health and well-being, prevent diseases and decrease the burden of diseases and disabilities on people and communities, support the transformation of health care systems and foster an innovative, sustainable and globally competitive European health industry.

To tackle these issues, the Health Cluster defined six intervention areas called “Destinations”. Dedicated funding calls will fall under each of these Destination areas:

1. Staying healthy in a rapidly changing society
2. Living and working in a health-promoting environment
3. Tackling diseases and reducing disease burden
4. Ensuring access to innovative, sustainable and high-quality healthcar
5. Unlocking the full potential of new tools, technologies and digital solutions for a healthy society
6. Maintaining an innovative, sustainable and globally competitive health.
