7/30/2019 EU Outlook on Care and Diversity

2/2

Governments and care providers in Europe are currently facing the challenge to secure the accessibility,

affordable cost level and quality of long term care for an ever more diverse population. What can we as

Europeans learn from each others strategies to sustain the delivery of high quality long term care for a

growing population of care demanders? What may countries learn from each others approaches to

deal with increasing diversity within the care population? What are the implications of shifts in care

responsibility for the quality and continuity of long term care? Would it be good to develop a shared

European approach to the issue of diversity in long term care? These questions are the focus of this

International Care Conference, providing good opportunities for participants to get acquainted with

innovative ideas. As a further target the conference will sustain efforts to develop a common European

policy. We would be honoured to welcome you at our International Care Conference Does Europe Care?
