Dear Ms Ohov,
Regional virtual consultation on Strengthening Integrated
Long-term Care Provision
7 December 2021 (10:00–12:00 CET)
The WHO Regional Office for Europe is honoured to host this regional virtual consultation, to which I
have the pleasure of inviting two nominated representatives from your country.
The aim of the regional consultation is to support the development of national agendas and priority
intervention areas for strengthening integrated long-term care services in the aftermath of the COVID-
19 pandemic.
The objectives of the regional consultation are to:
1. agree on a common understanding of integrated long-term systems and services and strengthen
regional collaboration;
2. identify the challenges faced by Member States in the integrated delivery of long-term care
during the COVID-19 pandemic and areas where technical support can be provided; and
3. introduce to Member States WHO tools and resources on integrated delivery of long-term
care.
It is my pleasure to invite you to nominate two people from your country to participate in the regional
consultation. The participants should be officials from the ministries leading the long-term care and
healthy ageing agenda (the Ministry of Health and/or Ministry of Social Affairs, for instance), who are
specialized in the governance and management of the long-term care sector and who have the
capacity to represent their organization and report back.
The working language will be English, with simultaneous Russian interpretation provided.
The regional consultation will take place online, and participants will receive a Zoom link to the
meeting following confirming of their participation.

Regional Consultation on Strengthening /2
Integrated Long-term Care Provision
Virtual meeting 21 October 2021
7 December 2021 (10:00–12:00 CET) Original: English
Scope and purpose
Background
A high degree of variability characterizes the organization, delivery and financing of long-term
care in the WHO European Region. Despite this diversity, a common set of challenges, rendered
more acute by the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly are emerging as
key priorities for health and social policy agendas: ensuring adequate and equitable access to
care; promoting integration across care settings and sectors; ensuring sustainable financing and
human resources for health for long-term care; and promoting system resilience to health
emergencies.
In response to requests from Member States and in line with the recommendations of the Pan-
European Commission on Health and Sustainable Development, the WHO Regional Office for
Europe is committed to supporting countries in the Region to turn these common challenges into
opportunities for accelerating progress on integrated provision of care services. To this end, the
Regional Office has intensified technical support and knowledge-exchange activities on
integrated long-term care services and is preparing to launch a series of guidance documents and
tools.
Long-term care systems encompass all organizations, people and actions aiming to promote,
maintain or improve well-being, health and functional ability for individuals with limitations in
intrinsic capacity. Such actions are profoundly rooted in local social structures and often span the
boundaries between health, long-term care and social protection systems, as well as the boundary
between formalized support and service delivery and informal care provision (see figure below).
Scope and purpose
page 2
To ensure Member States are supported adequately in their efforts to strengthen and develop
integrated long-term care provision, the WHO Regional Office for Europe is convening a
regional consultation to present WHO tools and resources to Member States, identify priority
areas for action at national level and establish where technical support can be provided.
Date and time
The WHO European Regional Consultation on Strengthening Integrated Long-term Care
Provision will be held virtually on Tuesday 7 December 2021 and will have a duration of two
hours, from 10:00 to 12:00, Central European Time.
Aim
The aim is to support the development of national agendas and priority intervention areas for
strengthening integrated long-term care services in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objectives
The objectives are to:
1. agree on a common understanding of integrated long-term systems and services and
strengthen regional collaboration;
2. identify the challenges faced by Member States in the integrated delivery of long-
term care during the COVID-19 pandemic and areas where technical support can be
provided; and
3. introduce to Member States WHO tools and resources on integrated delivery of long-
term care.
Participants
Participants will comprise representatives from relevant ministries of WHO European Region
Member States, including health and social affairs ministries. Each Member State is invited to
nominate two participants.
Languages of the consultation
The working language will be English, with simultaneous Russian interpretation provided.
Preparatory documents will also be available in English and Russian.
