About

The partnership of the Take Care! project have jointly identified problems in the health and social system of the Programme area. Inappropriate distribution and mobilisation of capacities, reduced access to services for the elderly, infirm and persons with disabilities and reduced access to health and social services, especially for people living in rural areas, are one of these problems. Basing their project idea on a community-based concept of health and social care, Take Care! sets an ambitious path to enhance accessibility and quality of health and social services for elderlies, infirm and people with disabilities across borders. A mobile Patient Care System will be developed to do so, including mobile teams for people in need of better care, and accompanied by comprehensive educations and a cross-border palliative care platform.
