Less than 10% of Global Gateway projects are invested in health.

Omissions

• No source found explicitly states the share of Global Gateway projects in health as 'less than 10%'; the exact figure claimed does not appear in any located source.
• The only quantified breakdown found covers the 46 Global Gateway flagship projects endorsed for 2025, of which six focus on health (about 13%) — a narrower scope than the 'Global Gateway projects' referenced in the claim, and a value above the claimed threshold.
• The Global Gateway flagship list grew to 256 initiatives for 2026 (Council, December 2025), so any share based on the smaller 2025 flagship list cannot be generalised to the whole portfolio.
• The CEPS analysis of the health dimension of Global Gateway (flagship projects 2023-26) notes a strong focus on infrastructure (water, sanitation, pharmaceutical manufacturing) with less emphasis on health systems, but does not publish a '<10%' health-project share.
