b) support Member States in their actions to address stigma and discrimination.
More specific activities will include:
a) development of best and promising practices, innovative policies, cost-effective approaches and research to prevent and monitor communicable diseases in the Union (HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, viral hepatitis);
b) awareness-raising to tackle stigma and discrimination;
c) targeted actions for vulnerable groups (e.g., drug users, migrants, people in prison)
d) capacity-building for health professionals, including in terms of communication skills, and support for patient groups and vulnerable groups.
Activities under sub-topic (c) should ideally complement the activities carried out under DP/CR-g-24-28 Direct grants to Member States’ authorities: cancers caused by infections, vaccine-preventable cancers and addressing communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, TB, HBV and HVC).
All activities under this call will cover the promotion of health and the prevention and management of NCDs and communicable diseases, supporting in particular vulnerable population groups, including displaced people from Ukraine (as beneficiaries of the access to healthcare provided by the Temporary Protection Directive, when they need special actions to be integrated in the regular national health systems) and Roma in the EU. Activities should also include an equity dimension and aim at reducing health inequalities.
