CAREMED strengthened local engagement in Türkiye through two Information Days on the Active Patient Care Model to translate innovative approaches into concrete action.
As part of the CAREMED (Community-Based Approach for Resilient Health in the Mediterranean) project, field activities continue to advance with the successful organisation of two Information Days in the pilot regions of Tire and Menemen, Türkiye. The project is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg NEXT MED Programme.
The first Information Day took place on 10 June 2026 in Tire, bringing together local stakeholders for a full day of discussions on the project’s objectives, the Active Patient Care Model (APCM) for chronic disease management, and the project’s local implementation targets. The event also provided an opportunity to assess local processes and strengthen stakeholder engagement in the implementation phase.
The second Information Day was held on 11 June 2026 in Menemen, where healthcare professionals, patients and their relatives participated in a full-day programme dedicated to the project’s innovative community-based approach. During the event, participants were introduced to the Active Patient Care Model (APCM) and explored the chronic patient follow-up pathway through the Healthy Life Centers (HLC) service model and practical case simulations.
A dedicated “Our Patients Have the Floor” session encouraged the direct participation of patients, while discussions also focused on multidisciplinary approaches to chronic disease management. The strong engagement of local stakeholders highlighted the importance of collaboration in promoting more inclusive and patient-centred healthcare services.
By promoting dialogue, knowledge exchange and active community participation, CAREMED continues to translate innovative approaches into concrete action. Through collaboration among healthcare professionals, patients and local stakeholders, the project is contributing to stronger, more resilient and people-centred health systems across the Mediterranean.
