Accessible Care
Accessible healthcare to everyone does not only shape public health, but it also affects things such as happiness, productivity and social involvement. In its education and research, Erasmus University Rotterdam therefore addresses equal access to healthcare. How do we make sure that medications remain affordable, for example? What are the social outcomes of the Dutch Social Support Act (WMO)? Do all people in the Netherlands receive the same standard of care? How can we use prevention policy to keep as many people as possible healthy in order to prevent that they need care?
Learn more about our research, our numerous educational programmes, and the experts of Erasmus University Rotterdam on the accessibility of healthcare and health equity.
