Riga to Launch Pilot Project for Better Health and Social Care Integration in August

In August, the Riga municipality, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, plans to launch a new pilot project designed to enhance collaboration between health and social care sectors. The initiative will focus on chronic patients who require timely and targeted assistance at home.

The project seeks to strengthen the link between the two fields, ensuring better organization and coordination of services. This means that after hospitalization, patients will receive more continuous support, combining medical care with social services.

The pilot will be implemented in Riga, and its outcomes could influence future health care policies across the country. Specific details about the project's duration and funding have not been disclosed, but the primary goal is to improve patients' quality of life and use resources more efficiently.
