Abstract: Health should be regarded as an is an asset and value dimension and not a liability or burden as it is often supposed to be. This article argues in favor of a paradigm shift towards the longevity framework taking on added significance step by step not only due to demographic changes, but also because transformed mind maps of aging societies. Paradoxically, our hospital and welfare systems incorporate the features of ‘sickcare´, while neglecting or ignoring the value of healthcare and lifecare. Longevity resonates with the idea of a 360-degree One-Health-Concept (OHC).
