Health and Well-being

Health and wellbeing are central to social and economic development in the Western Balkans. The region continues to face challenges such as limited healthcare infrastructure, disparities in access to services, and rising burdens of chronic and mental health conditions. At the same time, there is increasing momentum to modernise health systems through digital technologies, cross-border cooperation, and stronger integration with European standards.

Wellbeing in this context extends beyond the healthcare sector, touching on issues such as healthy ageing, social inclusion, environmental impacts on health, and the promotion of healthier lifestyles. Governments, research institutions, and civil society actors are working together to create resilient health systems, improve prevention and care, and ensure that vulnerable groups are not left behind.

Positioned at the intersection of public policy, research, and innovation, the theme of health and wellbeing highlights both the challenges and the opportunities for building healthier societies across the Western Balkans. Browse our resources for:
