About JAHEE JOINT ACTION
JAHEE is the first Joint Action (JA) on the prevention of frailty. It is co-funded by the Third European Health Programme of the European Union 2014-2020 and the Member States (MS). It will run from 2017 to 2019. This JA will contribute to a more homogeneous approach to frailty, improving screening, prevention, assessment and treatment, as well as to the reform of health systems and the identification of priorities in training and research programs.
Its main objective is to establish a common European framework for addressing frailty, which is the main condition associated with the risk of developing disability. The JAHEE Consortium embodies 22 Member States and over 35 European organizations. Partners representing them come from a broad range of professional backgrounds and have sound expertise in complementary areas pertinent to the issue at stake.
