Significant progress still need to be achieved: Puglia and Molise Regions are among the least developed ones with regard to national average, while IPA countries are making limited efforts to align with EU standards, in terms of innovative services organization , using digital platforms and sharing services among citizens.The development of such sector will be beneficial for the whole area, not only for the improvement of public and private healthcare services, but it can also contribute to boost innovation and competitiveness of MSMEs working in the fields of digital technologies and traditional healthcare services.
