Draft Law of the Agency for Integrated Social and Health Care of Catalonia: Impact and Implications

Catalonia is facing a major challenge: transforming its health and social services systems to address the growing needs of an ageing population with increasing cases of chronic conditions, disabilities, and mental health issues.
