Prepared by a consortium of 10 NGOs, supported by MSD, the paper provides six major recommendations for improving healthcare access for marginalised people.
b) At the same meeting our attention was brought to a new multicentre EU project designed to enhance age-friendly smart city environments, acronym EU-SHAFE which began work in August of this year and will run for about 42 months.
the EU_SHAFE project will invest in policy design and adaptation of existing regional instruments, through the creation of a large Euro-local network of stakeholders and will implement concrete and scalable interventions in the area of social innovation for SHAFE, that may be implemented as realistic innovative models for the future (news item including website URL, here).
