(22) The Programme should therefore support actions to monitor shortages of medicines, medical devices and other healthcare products and to ensure greater availability and affordability of those products while limiting the dependency of their supply chains on third countries. In particular, in order to address unmet medical needs, the Programme should provide support to clinical trials so as to speed up the development, authorisation and access to innovative and effective medicines, promote incentives to develop such medicinal products as antimicrobials and foster the digitial transformation of healthcare products and platforms for monitoring and collecting information on medicines. The Program should support action against the spread of falsified medicines from unauthorised website sand vendors that are raising concerns nowadays; this practice can cause serious harm and can lead to severe health problems or worsen the health condition of citizens; EU coordination in mapping and combatting of counterfeit of medicines is essential.

(31) Given the specific nature of the objectives and actions covered by the Programme, the respective competent authorities of the Member States are best placed in some cases to implement the related activities. Those authorities, designated by the Member States themselves, should therefore be considered to be identified beneficiaries for the purpose of Article 195 of the Financial Regulation and the grants be awarded to such authorities without prior publication of calls for proposals. Investments from EU4Health programme should be implemented in close cooperation with Member States especially in areas falling under national competences.
