The EU spent €6 billion on global health from 2021 to 2025.

Omissions

• No source found states the exact aggregate figure of €6 billion for EU global-health spending over 2021-2025; only component programmes are documented.
• The European Commission's report on the implementation of the EU Global Health Strategy (COM(2025) 392) documents €715 million pledged to the Global Fund (2023-2025) and €745 million disbursed for basic healthcare (2022-early 2025), figures that are consistent with but do not by themselves establish a €6 billion total.
• The claim does not specify whether it refers to EU institutions only or to 'Team Europe' (EU institutions plus Member States), which would materially change the total.
• The claim uses a fixed end-year of 2025 while the main official reference document (EU Global Health Strategy) runs to 2027.
