The Basque country is one of the leading regions in Europe when it comes to address issues of active ageing and integrated care. The launch event of the regional strategy for healthy ageing in San Sebastian on 22 and 23 November 2018 was yet another opportunity to underpin local approaches by European experiences and perspectives that were presented by well-known experts in this field. Kai Leichsenring was invited to present and discuss European perspectives on ‘Healthy ageing and the need for an integrated system of long-term care’.
