Health care infrastructure has to answer actual requirements of population health, a very volatile, rapidly changing context, affected by aging populations, rise in chronic diseases, as well as constant constraints in public financing. This calls for prevention, awareness raising, and state-of-the-art infrastructure enabling optimised health care interventions. Nyírbátor and Negresti-Oas are similar sized cities, holding similar urban positions, and located at an equal vicinity of the HU-RO border (115 kms from each other). It is apparent that the similarities in the social & economic background, and recent development trends of the two countries, as well as the similar challenges posed by the peripheral location and relatively small size of the two settlements require strategic alliances, inducing transfer of relevant knowledge, and implementation of coordinated development initiatives. The municipalities of the locations are joining together for JOINTCARE as LP and PP2/OAS. In order to answer joint challenges, they plan investments in health care infrastructure to provide state-of-the-art services, operated by institutions engaged into joint knowledge sharing. They also plan joint and coordinated community programmes, increasing public awareness towards a sustainable healthy lifestyle. The OVERALL OBJECTIVE is to improve the health status of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County and the Oas subregion, through the following interventions: (1) Improved access to state-of-the-art health care services; (2) Raised public awareness to healthy lifestyle; (3) Improved attractiveness of Nyírbátor, Negresti-Oas and their surrounding areas. As a result, both the preventive and the curative health care services will be improved. By investing in two specific health care facilities, and by implementing capacity building and awareness raising interventions, JOINTCARE contributes to development both on local and regional level, reducing inequalities in health status, and promoting access to services of disadvantaged social groups. The planned investments also support transfer of health care service provisions from hospital-centred acute care to decentralised frameworks focusing on prevention, rehabilitation and community-based services. MAIN ACTIVITIES: (WPI1) Expansion of the Nyírbátor Health Centre with cca 737sqm newly built area, providing improved and new health care services to cure and rehabilitate sensory and locomotory disabilities, cardio-vascular and cutaneous diseases. The Centre operates since 2010, but demand for its services already exceed its capacities. The expansion would solve capacity problems by providing improved waiting and recovery areas, as well as new services most of which are currently not available in the service area. (WPI2) Implementation of a new medical service (permanence) centre is planned in Negrești-Oaș with 407 sqm newly built area, providing new curative and preventive health care services, as well as promotional screenings and information on health-care issues to the population. (WPT1) In order to induce a sustainable and positive change in the general health status of the population of the cooperating cities and their sub-regions, as well as to establish sustainable institutional and personal links between the administrative and health care professionals, a complex capacity development and awareness raising campaign is planned. This aims to facilitate and encourage healthy behaviours preventing illness and promoting health, by developing knowledge and positive attitude. The campaign will have 4 main elements: #1 E-newsletters distributed online and via social media channels: Newsletters will be prepared in HU and RO languages, 4 times during the project. The contents will be made available on social media accounts and on the project website, together with more detailed background information and repository of web-links. #2 Urban Health Festivals will be organised (1 in each cooperating city) to (1) engage local communities in outdoor physical activities, to (2) introduce healthy foods and cooking techniques, via presentations, education and handouts. The festivals will also provide (3) free preventive screening programs. #3 A “Healthy Lifestyle” competition, involving all primary schools of the two settlements. The competition arranged simultaneously on the two locations, will be available for small teams of grade 6-8 primary school students, and include quizzes about health-related subjects. #4 Bilateral 2-day peer-review visits will be organised for a selected group of 5-10 health care specialists (administrative and medical professionals) from each location: these groups will visit the cooperating counterpart city’s health care facilities, to study the services, and discuss experiences and potential further joint development. (WPM&WPC) The infrastructure and equipment development, capacity building and awareness raising activities of WPI1, WPI2 and WPT1 are supplemented by proper proje (English)
