Economic impact
Chronic diseases and the economy changing the paradigm
• 70% to 80% of all healthcare costs, €700 billion,
•
•
•
spent on chronic diseases in the EU
Yearly cost of disease related absenteeism
estimated at 2.5% of GDP
Early retirement: Chronic diseases (Musculoskeletal, mental disorders,…)
Labour market reintegration – 'survivorship'
International goals, targets
•UN General Assembly High Level Meeting on
Non-communicable diseases
• Integrated approach across diseases
• Behavioral risk factors
• Environmental factors
• Health systems response, primary care
• Overall socio-economic development

prevalence of raised blood pressure, according to national circumstances.
Halt the rise in diabetes and obesity.
At least 50% of eligible people receive drug therapy and counselling (including

Article 168 of the EU Treaty
A high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and
implementation of all Union policies and activities.
Union action, which shall complement national policies, shall be directed
towards improving public health, preventing physical and mental illness and
diseases, and obviating sources of danger to physical and mental health.
Such action shall cover the fight against the major health scourges, by
promoting research into their causes, their transmission and their
prevention, as well as health information and education, and monitoring,
early warning of and combating serious cross-border threats to health.
The Union shall complement the Member States' action in reducing drugsrelated health damage, including information and prevention.
EU action on health determinants
- Tobacco
- Nutrition and
physical activity
- Alcohol and drugs
- Mental health
- Environment and health
- Social determinants and
health inequalities
Disease Group Specific Actions
• Cancer: Guidelines on screening,
European Partnership for Action Against
Cancer
• CVD: support to European Heart Health
Charter
• Mental health: Actions on depression and
suicide
• European initiative on Alzheimer’s disease
and other dementias

The EIP on Active and Healthy Ageing approach
-
Not a funding instrument but a
stakeholder-led, cross sectorial,
collaboration instrument for research,
innovation & intervention.
-
Launched 2012 as part of Europe
2020 Strategy.
-
Reach a critical mass for action by
pooling EU resources/ expertise &
recognising innovation/ excellence.

European Partnership for Action Against Cancer
Aim: Integrated cancer plans in all Member States to contribute to reducing
the cancer burden in the EU – Target: 15% incidence reduction by 2020. 25
of the 28 Member States had a plan or strategy by 2014.
EPAAC Cancer joint action (2010-2013)
• Health Promotion and cancer prevention, including screening,
• Identification of best practice in cancer-related healthcare,
• The collection and analysis of comparable data and information,
• A coordinated approach to cancer research.

The health promotion challenge
Redefining the boundaries:
• promotion/prevention,
• primary/secondary,
• screening/early diagnosis
• Chronicity/Multimorbidity
• Rehabiltation/treatment/survivorship
• Target vulnerability
The EU contribution
Help Member States develop strategic approaches
Review our instruments, using them to address
chronic diseases
Pilot and scale up good practice
Create transparency: improve monitoring and
evaluation
Implementing WHO goals, objectives and targets
How does CHRODIS contribute to reduce the
burden of chronic diseases in Europe?
• Collection, validation and dissemination of good practises
to address chronic conditions
 EIP-AHA networking, chronic disease community
• Health promotion and prevention focus on behavioural risk
factors, social determinants and inequalities in health
 streamlining
• Diabetes: a case study on barriers to prevention, screening
and treatment of diabetes and improvement of cooperation
among Member States to act on diabetes
 Country analysis, policyadvice
• Work on multi-morbidity with focus on multi-disciplinary &
integrated care, patient safety and professional training
• Development of common guidance and methodologies for
care pathways for multi -morbid patients
 Health outcomes, quality of care
