Retour sur les événements dédiés à la santé lors la Semaine européenne des régions et des villes 2021

La Semaine européenne des régions et des villes est le plus grand événement annuel basé à Bruxelles consacré à la politique de cohésion. Au cours des 18 dernières années, elle est devenue une plateforme unique de communication et de mise en réseau, rassemblant des régions et des villes de toute l'Europe, y compris des politiciens, des administrateurs, des experts et des universitaires.

Cette année, la Semaine européenne des régions et des villes s'est déroulée du 11 au 14 octobre 2021 sous un format numérique en raison de la pandémie de la Covid-19. Elle s'est concentrée sur quatre thèmes : la cohésion, la transformation verte, la transformation numérique et l'engagement civique.

En outre, certains événements ont également abordé la question de la santé transfrontalière. Dans ce contexte, notre cheffe de projet Anne Dussap a pu présenter le travail de TRISAN et les expériences dans le Rhin supérieur.

Nous avons compilé ci-dessous les enregistrements et de plus amples informations sur les différents événements liés à la santé.

Atelier : Improving public health services in cross-border territories – what are the benefits for citizens?

The pandemic has put the spotlight on the medical sector, but cross-border cooperation on public health is not only a matter for times of crisis. This EURegionsWeek workshop puts forward a central assumption: even in everyday life, cooperation on this topic is essential in order to provide public services for citizens in cross-border regions. Together, we will explore what long-term cooperation can look like and what the keys to success are for integrated healthcare provision in cross-border regions.

Événement : Healthy ageing in the EU: the potential of digital innovation for elderly health and social care

Europeans are living increasingly long lives. According to the Report on the Impact of Demographic Change, 20% of the population is above 65 today, and by 2070 it will be 30%. The share of people above 80 is expected to more than double, reaching 13% by 2070. This will have an impact on growth and sustainability, employment, health and long-term care across all EU regions. In addition, COVID-19 has highlighted how vulnerable the elderly are and how urgent it is to tap into the potential of digital transformation to address social, economic, and health challenges.

This digital transition is a cornerstone of the Recovery and Resilience Facility and the new EU Financial Framework 2021-2027. Digitalisation has great potential to enhance the quality of life of an ageing population and transform health and social care systems in line with a 'healthy ageing-oriented' approach. For this reason, it is now more crucial than ever to steer the political and public debate towards a long-term vision, with innovative and sustainable solutions at the centre.

A multilevel and constructive dialogue between regions and cities, European institutions, industry and civil society on digitalisation and its opportunities is needed to make this transition happen. The Committee of the Regions, the European Commission, the European Regional and Local Health Authorities (EUREGHA), and the Diputación Provincial de Lugo (ES) therefore propose this interactive debate with key EU stakeholders to explore the way forward. 

High-level representatives of European institutions will pave the way to discuss the implementation of digital solutions for the elderly in the European Union. The event will host experts from the European Commission and will be enriched by the experience of the EU-funded project IN-4-AHA and the story of the Province of Lugo.

Atelier : Cross-border healthcare cooperation in EU and IPA countries

For those living in border regions, access to healthcare across the border can sometimes offer a lifeline.

Thanks to EU legislation and cooperation between neighbouring health authorities and hospitals, patients can benefit from healthcare abroad and be reimbursed the medical costs in the EU. In this workshop, DG SANTE and the Association of European Border Regions will show what patient mobility and cross-border healthcare cooperation means in practice.

At external borders with IPA countries, cross-border obstacles regarding healthcare cooperation are more challenging. DG REGIO will present the results of a study on specific obstacles at external borders in the health sector and will show some video testimonials of successful IPA cross-border cooperation in health.

Come and find out what patient mobility and cross-border healthcare cooperation means in practice! The workshop will try to be as interactive as possible and each part of the workshop will be followed by a question and answer session. Speakers will be from the DG SANTE, the Association of European Border Regions, DG REGIO/Interact, and project partners form different cross-border areas, and will also include a European Young Ambassador from the Western Balkans.

 

Moderator:

Mercedes Acitores, Senior Officer (Networks: Inclusive growth network | Med Lab Group), Interact, Spain.
