The emergence of healthcare rights for Senior citizens

The healthcare rights for Senior citizens emerged with the initiation of a new project entitled “EU-Health” by the Union of Working Consumers of Greece in collaboration with the Institute for Innovation and Development Studies in the framework of the project  BUILD – Building a robust and democratic civic program space

The scope of “EU-Health” project is to enable Seniors to know their healthcare rights within the EU, so that they can use health services more effectively, through the provision of information regarding their access and use, with the ultimate aim of improving their physical and mental health. At the same time, the aim is to raise the awareness of Civil Society organizations , relatives and students of health professions, in issues  of equal treatment.
