The cooperative movement at the service of social medicine
Dr. María Pérez-Hervada Maestre has recently taken charge of the coordination of AssislaHB, Grup Assistència's clinical laboratory, with the firm intention of strengthening its role as an outstanding and strategic clinical tool for all the group's medical staff.
The persistent challenge of youth unemployment, magnified in disadvantaged and socially vulnerable neighborhoods, requires solutions that go beyond mere subsidies. We need structural models that not only provide a job, but also reintegrate the individual and give them a sense of belonging and purpose. This is where the Social Economy model, with a special emphasis on cooperatives, emerges as a crucial lever for transformation.
The Social Economy enjoys massive and unequivocal support from European citizens, as shown by the results of the latest Special Eurobarometer act as a clear strategic mandate directed at public and business leaders: it is time to place social values at the heart of economic activity.
