Cancer in children is very rare, but it is still the disease that causes the most deaths in children older than one year. A Nordic research network is ensuring that children with cancer can access personalised treatment in neighbouring countries.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation has decided to provide additional funding for NordForsk's call for proposals on sustainable health and care systems for the elderly. This increases the number of funded projects from five to seven.
The Nordic and Baltic countries are facing challenges due to a growing elderly population. NordForsk has awarded funding to five projects that will generate knowledge to help prepare and equip the health and social care systems for these demographic changes.
Project aiming to promote sustainable health and wellbeing in elderly Sámi and Inuit population in Norway, Sweden, and Greenland by developing culturally tailored digital health tools in Indigenous and Scandinavian languages.
Project addressing the challenge of sustainability of Long-Term Care (LTC) for older people living at home, seeing this as an integration of formal and informal care systems.
Project to produce new knowledge to equip the health and social care systems in the Nordic and Baltic countries to meet the challenges of a growing population of older adults with substance use disorders.
