OECD Health Ministers will discuss how to promote healthy lifestyles

During an OECD Health Ministerial meeting in Paris on 7-8th October, ministers will discuss how to enhance quality, reduce waste and promote healthy lifestyles.

Huge challenges are faced at the moment, as many ministers are being asked to cut spending in the aftermath of the global economic crisis. Long term strategies are needed on how best to ensure high quality health care and good value for money in the face of population ageing, technological change, and rising population expectations. The following three topics will be discussed: Healthy choices, priorities when money is tight, and Quality of care.
