Guagliardo, Simona and Dhéret, Claire (2019) Integrating is caring: A paradigm shift in health. EPC Policy Brief, 19 February 2019. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
In the past decade, Europe has experienced a positive trend of increased life expectancy. And yet this trend has not automatically translated into an increase in healthy life expectancy. The prevalence of chronic diseases and multi-morbidities has been growing at a steady pace. Adding to constraints in public resources, growing healthcare expenditure, and low economic growth, the rising burden of chronic diseases and multi-morbidities imposes a huge strain on health systems and on European societies at large.
