In view of the rising prevalence of chronic conditions, the agenda will address issues related to chronic disease prevention and early detection as well as to providing cost-effective and quality care for chronic conditions.

The Technical Seminar will provide a unique occasion to exchange on good practices and innovations regarding:

• Health promotion: what role for social security health-care schemes.
• Health check-ups: what factors determine utilization and effectiveness.
• Chronic disease care models and chronic disease management.

In addition to these agenda items, the Technical Seminar will feature the presentation and discussion of the results of a comparative eight-country study undertaken by the Technical Commission on Medical Care and Sickness Insurance on measures to adapt health-care systems to trends in chronic disease.
