SALUS E AJUTEC 2015

Health is no longer perceived as the simple absence of illness; rather it is now understood as a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing.

The introduction of this notion that health is an ongoing and interdependent process of preservation of life has created a new social dimension.

The various types of healthcare are, increasingly, becoming more and more integrated.

Information systems take on a new expression and countless modernization projects in this area are being launched.

Thus, medicine presents more and more challenges. It is a field that is constantly evolving, not only in terms of research, but also in terms of improvements in the provision of healthcare.
