Global Gateway will prioritise the security of pharmaceutical supply chains and the development of local manufacturing. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed weaknesses of healthcare systems and the fragility of pharmaceutical supply chains. It also highlighted the wide discrepancy in medical manufacturing capacities around the world.
Continents must be able to manufacture their own vaccines. Therefore, the EU is committed to preventing future health emergencies by strengthening capacities throughout the world.
But health issues extend beyond the pandemic. Thus, Global Gateway will also facilitate investment in infrastructure and the regulatory environment for the local production of medicine and medical technologies. This will help integrate fragmented markets and promote research and cross-border innovation in healthcare, helping us to overcome diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, yellow fever, tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS.
