Europe’s next long-term budget will shape the future of health promotion and NCD prevention across the region.

Our latest JA PreventNCD article builds on an editorial published in the 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 by Benedetta Armocida, Coordinator of JACARDI; Knut-Inge Klepp, Scientific Coordinator of JA PreventNCD; and Hanna Tolonen, a key contributor to both Joint Actions.

Their central argument is an important one: Europe needs to protect not only investment in prevention, but also the 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞.

That includes strong public health institutions and expertise, clear objectives and accountability, professional networks, and practical mechanisms such as Joint Actions that allow countries to work together and turn European priorities into implementation.

As discussions on the 2028–2034 EU budget continue, the question is therefore not only 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭.

Published in the 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩, a new scientific article by Taija Voutilainen, Silke Cnockaert, Viðar Jensson, Zala Jeras, Helena Koprivnikar, Anneli Sammel, Stefanie Vandevijvere and Hanna Ollila examines how to***co and ni****ne industry interference is monitored across Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Iceland and Slovenia.

The findings show that while awareness of industry interference is growing, more systematic monitoring is needed – particularly as new ni****ne products and industry tactics continue to evolve.

The authors highlight the importance of:
🔹 Systematic and independent monitoring
🔹 Strong implementation of WHO FCTC Article 5.3
🔹 Greater transparency and accountability
🔹 Collaboration between public authorities, researchers and civil society

Moving from awareness to action means strengthening countries’ capacity to identify and respond to industry interference and protect public health policymaking.

🌍 Different contexts, common aspirations

On , we recognise that young people grow up in very different circumstances but share a common aspiration: the opportunity to live healthy lives and have a meaningful voice in decisions affecting their future.

Effective NCD prevention means creating environments where healthier choices are accessible, affordable and realistic for all.

The EU Safe Hearts Plan also recognises the experience of the JA PreventNCD Youth Advisory Group as a blueprint for integrating young people’s perspectives into NCD prevention.

💬 Young people should not only be the target of prevention efforts, but partners in shaping them.

Breastfeeding support requires more than good intentions. Healthcare professionals need the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to provide timely and consistent guidance when families need it most.

During World Breastfeeding Week, we are highlighting BreastFEEDucation, a free and flexible online course developed through JA PreventNCD to strengthen breastfeeding counselling across Europe.

Aligned with World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF Baby-Friendly standards, the course combines:

🔹 Short expert lectures
🔹 Practical, case-based discussions
🔹 Visual demonstrations
🔹 Interactive questions and assessments
🔹 Up-to-date, quality-assured evidence

BreastFEEDucation is designed for healthcare professionals, students and educational institutions. It can support both university education and continuing professional development, helping families receive high-quality and consistent support throughout the continuum of care.

The course is currently available in English, with subtitles in Spanish, Italian, Slovenian, Greek, Ukrainian and Lithuanian planned for autumn 2026.

The 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 1000 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, from pregnancy to a child's second birthday, are a unique window of opportunity to shape lifelong health. During this critical period, early life experiences and interventions can have a lasting impact on health and help reduce the risk of non communicable diseases (NCDs) later in life.

Evidence shows that 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 can help reduce the lifetime risk of NCDs, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, in both mothers and children.

During 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, we highlight two articles from 𝗝𝗔 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗡𝗖𝗗 and the 𝗝𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗜 website exploring the importance of the first 1000 days and the role of breastfeeding in disease prevention:

This year's 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 theme, "𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲: 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀," highlights that successful breastfeeding depends on more than individual choice. It requires supportive health systems, policies, workplaces, communities, and environments that enable families to give children the best possible start in life. The focus is on strengthening what works and investing in proven approaches.

As part of this year's campaign, World Health Organization and UNICEF, through the Global Breastfeeding Collective, will launch an updated global investment case for breastfeeding on 4 𝗮𝗻𝗱 5 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁.

Breastfeeding provides important health benefits for both mothers and children, supporting early childhood development while contributing to the prevention of cancer and other non communicable diseases (NCDs).

Published in the European Journal of Public Health, a new editorial by Dr. Benedetta Armocida, Prof. Knut-Inge Klepp and Dr. Hanna Tolonen examines why the next EU budget must protect Europe’s prevention infrastructure.

The question is not only whether health remains part of the next . It is whether health promotion and disease prevention retain the funding, governance, monitoring and cross-border implementation mechanisms needed to deliver meaningful results.

Drawing on JACARDI and JA PreventNCD, the authors highlight the important role of Joint Actions in translating shared European priorities into coordinated action across countries, including the implementation of the EU Safe Hearts Plan and Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.

The editorial calls for:
🔹 Protected funding for health promotion and disease prevention
🔹 A clear legal basis for Joint Actions, or an equivalent cross-border implementation mechanism
🔹 Health-specific governance, monitoring and accountability

Protecting this infrastructure is an investment in healthier populations, more resilient health systems and Europe’s capacity to turn ambition into action.

Health literacy is not only about people's ability to understand health information. It also depends on how well healthcare organisations make information and services accessible, understandable, and easy to navigate.


A new scientific publication from JA PreventNCD explores stakeholders' perspectives from six European countries on what supports or hinders the adoption of organisational health literacy in healthcare. The findings highlight the importance of leadership, staff training, patient and community involvement, and practical tools to strengthen health literacy across healthcare organisations.
