    An Ageing Europe - Health Law Revisited


    Europe is facing a trend of demographic and social change that is likely to have a signicant impact an our health systems in the coming decades. The primary concerns are related to the double challenge of population ageing and population decline. These changes will result in a shrinking workforce to handle the steadily increasing healthcare needs of the very old, who will constitute the fastest growing segment of the population. Adaptation of European health systems to the new situation also makes it necessary to revisit familiar and less familiar health law problems. Obvious subthemes are: * Decisionmaking by advance directives, proxys, guardians * End of life decisions * Telecare, telemonitoring and the protection of privacy * Access to affordable health care * Cross border care * Medical experiments with elderly subjects * Access to (private) health insurance * .
