Prof. Grabowski (Harvard): That's the future of long-term care

Speaking to CNN Greece and to journalist Christos Gavalas and in light of the ageing population globally, Harvard Medical School professor David Grabowski says he is in favor of a model that will take care of people at home but also and in long-term care facilities that are resident-directed. "We have to re-imagine what a long-term care structure should be like, in order to move from these huge structures with 100-120 beds to smaller home models. I am thinking of a long-term care structure for 8-12 people, which looks much more like a house, oriented to the residents who live there, in fact it would be like their home", he said, a few weeks after published EU studies showed that in 2070 in Greece, one in three people will be at least 65 years old.

Balance Report MEDICA/COMPAMED 2020

It would have once again been the world's largest trade fair for medical technology  - the Medica in Düsseldorf. Content of the trade fair: devices for medical imaging, devices for therapeutic purposes and, last but not least, Covid-19 in focus: laboratory technology. However it turned out differently: the organizers of the trade fair and the manufacturers of the high-tech exhibits could only come together virtually -  the understanding for this was most probably nowhere greater than in the community of the medical industry - and therefore the first virtual MEDICA and COMPAMED was a huge success.
