Knowledge and Innovation Covenant 2020-2023

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate (EZK) has designated the social theme of health and care as one of the four global challenges for the coming years within the framework of the mission-driven top sectors and innovation policy. This spring, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) drew up five missions for this social theme. One central mission and four specific missions. The central mission focuses on living longer in good health, reducing health disparities between people of high and low socioeconomic position. The other four missions contribute to this central mission through changes in the living environment, providing more care in the right place and better prospects for people with chronic diseases and dementia. The missions have a time horizon up to 2040.

Knowledge and Innovation Covenant 2020-2023

The Knowledge and Innovation Covenant 2020-2023 (KIC) describes the commitment of all health and care coalition partners to the five missions and all deliverables as articulated in the KIA Health & Care. Submission of the KIC to the Ministry of Economic Affairs took place on November 1, 2019. If you would like to discuss your organization's commitment to any of the missions now or in the coming years, please contact Maggy Sallons (Strategy Officer) at KIA@health-holland.com.
