Chronic diseases (CDs) are a priority health problem. These are conditions that healthcare is not able to cure, and for patients they mean a progressive deterioration of their health and loss of independence. Their prolonged and unpredictable course leads to a loss in quality of life and high use of healthcare and social resources. Since April 2009, our hospital (San Juan de Dios de Aljarafe Hospital) and its catchment area (Aljarafe Health region) have operated a specific programme to provide integrated and longitudinal care.
