In 1997 United Nations held its first international study of health cooperatives " Cooperative Enterprise in the Health and Social Care Sectors ." This study remains, so far, the best way that reflects the diversity and richness of cooperatives working in the field of health and social services.
However, last November, during a meeting of the Board of the International Organization health cooperatives (IHCO) in Manchster, it was decided to formally launch a project to update the information Health Co-operatives through the world. The same is to generate information relevant and useful as possible, particularly by providing criteria for determining what can be considered as a health cooperative in an international context. The focus of the project will take into account the health services offered under the cooperative model. In some cases, according to the merits, shall conduct a general review of social services cooperatives.
