EU supports Zika research with €10 million // Brussels, 15 March 2016

28. Encourages taking immediate action to create a financial environment for research into the prevention of further outbreaks, and to coordinate and strengthen medical research and the production of effective medicines, clinical tests and policies, not only against Ebola but also against certain other epidemic-prone, life-threatening infectious diseases that cause a high number of deaths in Africa, and to publish the data regarding vaccine safety and effectiveness; stresses the necessity of not withdrawing from research efforts, given the need for continuous control of the epidemic, taking care to secure ethical conditions for the tria ...[+++]ls by means of informed prior consent of the patients who take part in the trials, transparency in the clinical data resulting from this research and effective access to these vaccines and treatments by the populations concerned (qualified staff and adequate infrastructure for care delivery, with the price not exceeding the real cost of production); expects the grant agreements of the Ebola+ programme to be made public with regard to their conditions and award procedures;

35. Stresses the importance of increasing global epidemiological research capacity, developing ‘quick tests’ and providing access to vaccines; welcomes, in this regard, the fact that many EU research funds have been mobilised to fight against the Ebola virus, including through the Innovative Medicines Initiative, the Horizon 2020 programme and the European & Developing Countries Clinical Trial Partnership (EDCTP) programme; underlines that, although vaccines are welcome, they are most probably not suitable to eradicate Ebola, as the ...[+++] virus is mutating; stresses, therefore, that funding priority has to be given to general health system strengthening, hygiene, containment, reliable quick testing in tropical settings and medication targeting the virus and the symptoms it causes;

We therefore not only finance the surveillance programmes and the study of wild and migratory birds, but we will also support the actual research into the virus itself and how it behaves – it is a tricky virus and it changes continuously.

13. Stresses that many health problems only concern women, or impact differently on them; notes, for example, that the specific effects of drugs on women are still not taken into sufficient consideration; emphasises that diseases affecting mainly women, such as osteoporosis and endometriosis, are still not adequately researched or treated and calls on the Commission and Member States to allocate sufficient funds for such research; hopes that measures aimed at fighting HIV/AIDS will be strengthened, in particular among 15-25 year olds in the European Union, the infection rate in this age group having recently increased according to UNA ...[+++]IDS statistics;
