Review of 2006-2008
Strategies have been prepared, and approved by the Interterritorial Council, on Cancer (29 March 2006), Ischaemic Heart Disease (28 June 2006), Diabetes (11 October 2006), Mental Health (11 December 2006), Palliative Care (14 March 2007) and Stroke (26 December 2008). The preparation, dissemination and implementation of all of them, and the evaluation of the ones approved two years ago, have taken place in a structured and systemised manner, with the participation of representatives of scientific societies, patient associations, all of the autonomous communities and the National Institute for Health Management (INGESA).
To promote the implementation of the strategies, multiple actions have been undertaken,
with specific funding, by means of calls for applications for subsidies, given to scientific
societies and patient associations (2.5 million euros); funding of projects presented by
the autonomous communities through the funds for strategies (17.7 million euros);
special funding of the Evaluation of Health Care Technologies projects of the Carlos III
Health Institute (2.3 million euros); and agreements with the Agencies for the Evaluation
of Health Technologies for the preparation of reports, examination of evidence and the
preparation of 20 Clinical Practice Guides (30 million euros), along with other activities
that are directly related to or funded by the Quality Plan.
Se ha participado en los trabajos e iniciativas de la Alianza Europea contra el Cáncer y con
los programas de la OMS. Así como, en los trabajos e iniciativas de Salud Mental de la
Comisión Europea (Libro Verde de la Salud Mental), la OMS-Europa (Declaración y Plan de
Acción en Salud Mental), el Consejo de Europa (Grupo de Trabajo sobre Derechos Humanos
y Salud Mental) y la OCDE (Indicadores de Calidad en Salud Mental).
