The increase in chronic diseases is a serious public health issue. Since 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) has encouraged the development of effective measures to counter the problem. The very reason for the existence of the home healthcare activity is to enable patients to receive treatment while continuing to live at home.

Air Liquide Healthcare is the European leader in this sector, facilitating treatment for patients at home and so giving 1.2 million people suffering from chronic diseases the opportunity to live independently in their own home while still benefiting from specialised medical treatment at a lower cost.
