Course Description

Recently, the importance of promoting local health and ensure proximity of care for patients emerged as evident from different perspectives. Covid-19 pandemic was an exceptional period that brought awareness to politicians, professionals, and people about the necessity of renewing lives in terms of sustainability, digital access to services, and social connectedness. How is it possible to pursue these objectives also in inner areas, mountain areas or small islands? How is it possible to guarantee equity of treatment and excellence of care when citizens live far from large welfare centres? PROREMOTE is designed to present evidence and applied cases to answering these questions.
