WHO: Framework for countries to achieve an integrated continuum of long-term care

Guidance

30 November 2021

Overview

Many people, at some point in their lives, will require access to good quality long-term care to enable them to be and do what they value for as long as possible. To foster healthy ageing and truly achieve #HealthForAll, an integrated continuum of health and social care is required. This framework for countries identifies key aspects necessary to achieve this integrated continuum. The framework will guide countries in assessing system-level components to implement sustainable and equitable long-term care actions. By applying this framework, countries can begin to develop and shape their long-term care systems as part of their universal health coverage programmes and promote investment in long-term care and the health workforce, including carers.
