More and more people are getting older and developing (multiple) chronic conditions. This creates a greater demand for medical and long-term care. The shortage of medical and care staff leads to problems in hospitals, general practices, nursing homes and home care, resulting in long waiting lists and a heavy burden on family caregivers. This puts pressure on the quality, affordability and accessibility of care. To deal with this, we must organize care differently (care transformation), invest in prevention and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Changing weather patterns, especially in the spring and summer, may lead to an increase in heat stress: think worse sleep, reduced work output and more deaths in people with cardiovascular symptoms.... In addition, air pollution-related diseases will increase, as will certain infectious diseases and insect pests. The healthcare industry faces the challenge of adapting to these changing conditions, including developing resilient health systems, improving emergency preparedness and promoting preventive measures to reduce the health risks of climate change.
