#TeamEurope provides support at the global, regional and national levels to strengthen health systems in partner countries and prepare for future health crises. The EU and its Member States, financial institutions and agencies are joining forces in #TeamEurope to combat the COVID-19 pandemic through international cooperation. EUR 37 billion euros have been redirected to help address the health and socio-economic impacts of the crisis at the global, regional and national level. Controlling COVID-19 at global level and preventing future epidemics requires strong health systems around the globe and a wide and safe access to the necessary tools and supplies, such as diagnostic tests, vaccines and treatments. #TeamEurope, together with the World Health Organization, is leading global efforts to make innovative medical tools available for all with the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator.
