Part of the Political Guidelines of the 2024-2029 Commission mandate, the action plan focuses on improving threat detection, preparedness, and crisis response in the healthcare sector. It aims to provide tailored guidance, tools, services, and training to hospitals and healthcare providers. Several specific actions will be rolled out progressively in 2025 and 2026, in collaboration with health providers, Member States, and the cybersecurity community. This initiative marks the first sector-specific initiative to deploy the full range of EU cybersecurity measures.
