This multi-stakeholder event represents a milestone in the policy dialogue process that first involved local, regional and national, and now European institutions. It is part of the final stage of the project and is organized following the realization of several local roundtables with the involvement of the main stakeholders, together with representatives of the local and regional institutions of the 5 countries of the AHEAD consortium (Italy, Moldova, the Netherlands, Romania and Serbia).
The ultimate aim is to present to the European Institutions our main recommendations, tools and concrete proposals, based on our analysis and research in the project countries, to address the phenomenon of medical desertification. These were co-developed with the national institutions, to affirm and emphasise the commitment of the European institutions on an issue that is present in many countries.
