About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif">The main objective of the project is to increase access of 520 individuals (including at least 260 women) meeting the inclusion criteria, including at least 52 individuals (at least 10%) from excluded areas (from districts with an average income per capita below the national average, including those using primary care located in a rural area away from major cities), to health services, mainly telemedicine, in accordance with the assumptions of the model “2 GERIATRICS”. It is expected to be possible to cover at least 520 individuals with screening, and in those diagnosed with malnutrition, sarcopenia and frailty syndrome, we expect an improvement (in 80% of them) of prognosis in the period of piloting, counteracting the development of disability and limiting the risk of dependence on the help of other persons in performing ADLs, as well as limiting the risk of hospitalisation, exacerbation of chronic coexisting diseases and limiting the risk of death, in the course of activity of the Partners in Lower Silesian Voivodeship.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt">Target group:&nbsp;</span><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="background-color: #FFFFFF"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;, sans-serif"><span style="color: #000000">age 60+;&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Bilateral cooperation results

Cooperation with the Norwegian Partner was carried out through consulting on project activities during meetings of the Steering Committee. This provided support in the substantive aspects of the project. The experience of the Norwegian Partner was utilized in preparing the platform, documents, and project procedures, as outlined in the Project's Regulations.&nbsp;19 meetings with the Norwegian Partner were a result of the course of the project and its participation in the Project Steering Committee. The bilateral cooperation was assessed so positively that the Norwegian Partner decided to participate with us in the Final Conference of the Health Program, which took place at the Ministry of Health, in order to discuss the possibility of carrying out further projects in collaboration. &nbsp;
