Dear supporters,

This petition has played its role in raising awareness, but now, we are taking the fight further through formal action and collective advocacy.

Together with other European health NGOs, we have now filed an official complaint to the European Ombudswoman regarding the cancellation of the EU4Health Operating Grants.

We will therefore close this petition and continue mobilising through other channels.

Regarding EUPHA, we have launched a fundraising campaign to help us maintain our activities while we seek new and sustainable solutions. We are also using this moment to train and empower public health communities in this kind of mobilisation, because public health is under attack everywhere, and we believe we must explore every possible way to stay strong and united.

We are not giving up: public health needs a strong, independent civil society voice in Europe.

Thank you for standing with us.
