The Demographic Change Regions Network (DCRN) proposes an exchange and networking event among partners on “Health services delivery in demographic transition regions”.Health service provision in areas with shrinking and ageing population is a major challenge for public administrations.
Quality services delivery in these areas is more costly and difficult but it is weighted against the benefit of anchoring population in rural areas. What are the best examples of health provision in a context of population decline? Is it better to disseminate services or to centralise them? How can we adapt smartly to an ageing and isolated population?
