During her 2025 State of the Union (SOTEU) speech, President von der Leyen emphasised the threat posed by health disinformation which threatens the global progress achieved on diseases such as measles and polio, and subsequently announced the Global Health Resilience Initiative (GHRI), a new non-legislative act which signals the EU’s ambition to once again take the lead on global health.
Today, Global Health Advocates (GHA) publishes a briefing paper outlining why the fight against health disinformation and increased investments in global health R&D to support PPR should be included as key pillars of the new GHRI.
