More and more people live longer, often suffering from non-communicable diseases and/or chronic conditions. The World Health Organization considers this development a slow-motion disaster, which will create numerous challenges for western societies. What is needed is a fundamental shift towards a healthcare system, which places patients and their families at its centre, invests in health literacy, and offers access to care as well as support for disadvantaged groups. These trends, themes, and innovations will be explored at the Careum Congress 2014, which is also the 2nd ENOPE conference.Taking active part in the discussion
Speakers from Switzerland and abroad shed light on these central themes from a practical point of view, giving insights into the current situation in Switzerland, Europe and the world. Contributions take a participatory form to invite a lively exchange of views. New media will enable participants to become involved and take an active part in the discussion even before the start of the congress itself.
