Conference in Graz 16 September 2011
Integrating Public and Personal Health Care in a World on the Move: the European Primary Care perspective
A recent rapid increase in the number of member countries in both the European Union and the WHO European Region, and the growing need to understand more clearly the overall impact on health and public service systems of both the emergent new clinical approaches and service delivery models in contemporary primary health care is reason to organise this conference that is organised in close collaboration with the Medical University Graz (MUG).
While as organisations these range internationally from the small general medical practice to multi-specialist polyclinics to public health services with large health promotion programmes, all national health systems share similar pressures for change and development. Collaboration in understanding these pressures and the responses they require is essential in the modern Europe to take forward its economic and social development, and to enhance the overall health status of its divergent but increasingly interdependent communities.
