Keeping people at the centre of health
Synergies in Health, a regional perspective.
What will our health care system look like in the future? Will health care still be affordable and accessible for everyone? Will we still have enough sufficiently well-trained staff to meet the growing care needs?
These are all questions that the World Health Organization Regions for Health Network (WHO RHN), the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) and the partners from the Euregio Meuse-Rhine (EMR) want to be able to answer. For three days in June, experts and health care professionals from 25 countries will meet to discuss preparations for tomorrow’s health care.
The three main themes of the conference are “Equity”, “Participatory Approach” and “Human Resources for health”.
Citizen summits
Health care of the future is not just a matter for professionals. The voices of citizens are also important. On 9 and 16 February, two citizens’ summits were held in Eupen (BE) and Aachen (DE), where citizens of the 5 regions of the EMR gave their views on health care.
Conference
The vision of citizens is included in the three-day conference to be held in June together with experts and care professionals in Aachen (DE), Maastricht (NL), Liège (BE) and Hasselt (BE). This conference will be a starting point for developing a new strategy for the EMR that will guarantee us high-quality and sustainable health care in the future.
