The aim is to share integrated
care pathways to improve treatments and emphasize the prevention
of prevalent diseases. With these objectives in mind, the
Executive Secretariat of the Central European Initiative (CEI)
is hosting a workshop in Trieste today, running through November
14, on strengthening primary healthcare models for managing
complex chronic diseases in the Western Balkans. This event is
promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and CEI.
The Secretary-General of the Central European Initiative,
Roberto Antonione, highlighted that the meeting "represents an
important opportunity to address key issues related to the
well-being and health of citizens, and also serves as a chance
to share best practices in healthcare."
Gian Matteo Apuzzo from the WHO European Centre for Primary
Health Care explained that "the meeting has two goals. The first
is technical: sharing integrated care pathways among the Western
Balkan countries for chronic diseases, specifically focusing on
diabetes, hypertension, and related conditions such as
cardiovascular diseases. The second goal is to focus on
prevention, one of the main themes of this workshop, which also
means strengthening services to promote healthy lifestyles."
