[ The main goal of this cluster is the optimisation of the medical
arts and science. In a graphical representation of human life, the
lifespan or time can be shown on a horizontal axis, and the
incidences of disease or health can be shown on a vertical axis.
Throughout, patient exists in his personal environment, in his
individual pri vate sphere. th In the late 20 century, medical arts
and sciences have achieved enormous pro gress resulting in highly
effective diagnosis and therapy. Today in Europe, a main concern of
our society centres around non-communi cable diseases, because
communicable diseases have been dramatically reduced by past
intensive socio-hygienic programmes. Nevertheless, medicine in
Europe must be always alert to fight communicable diseases such as
TB, AIDS, SARS etc. Medicine has been very successful in the past
in fighting communicable and non-communicable diseases. This has
resulted in an increase of our lifespan, and an ageing population.
Table 1 shows life expectancy in Europe in 2001. This varies in EU
member states from 78.6 up to 82.2 years in females, from 73.7 to
74.6 years in males. In the candidate countries, life expectancy
varies in females from 75.2 to 78.1 years and from 66.1 to 71.1
years in males. Table 2 shows the remaining life span at age 65,
which is much higher in the EU member states than in the candidate
countries. This increasing life expectancy dramatically alters the
structure of our society.
