National Focal Points

The National Focal Points (NFP) are the national experts for the Health Programme in EU countries and participating countries. NFP representatives are appointed by their national health ministries.

The specific role of the NFPs is to assist in:

  • Health Programme implementation at national level
  • Health Programme dissemination of results
  • Information on the impact generated by the Health Programme in their respective countries

The Joint Action NFP4Health aims to strengthen the network of NFPs and offers applicants and beneficiaries information and guidance on the EU4Health programme and its calls.
