TEC-MED MODEL: HOW IMPORTANT IS ITS DEVELOPMENT FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES

Nowadays, 200 millions of people in the world have reached or surpassed the health life expectancy (60 years) that is the 12% of the world population. These figures will increase in the following three decades, where people older than 60 years old will duplicate in number, and octogenarians will quadruplicate (World Health Organization, 2020).

In accordance to the current demographic development, over 50 million people in Europe have more than one chronic disease, and over 100 million are at risk of poverty or social exclusion.

The World Health Organization identified some key components of well- functioning health system, responding in a balanced way to a population’s needs and expectations by improving the health status, protecting people against the financial consequences, and providing equitable access to person-centered care.

The TECMED research project of the ENI CBC 2014-2020 call addresses these challenges, developing a model of cross-cultural, ethical and social care for the dependent population in the Mediterranean basin. With an approach based on justice, privacy, confidentiality, gender, universal accessibility, active community participation and the values of the welfare state and governance.

 
WORKING TOGETHER FOR TEC-MED MODEL

Before the development of TEC-MED Model, the project has carried out the following research activities:

• Knowing the most promising social assistance initiatives for older people who depend on the risk of social exclusion in the countries of the European and Mediterranean basin through an extensive literature review.
• Recognizing social care practices in each of the countries involved in the Project as well as their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threads through semi-structured interviews and SWOT analysis in the participant countries participants in the TEC-MED project.
• Analysing the Gap in the participant countries in the TEC-MED project through a Delphi panel.

All the countries involved in the project have developed these research activities. Thanks to this analysis, the TEC-MED Model proposal can take into account the strengths, obstacles and possible tools to solve this gap presents in the Social Care System in all these countries.
