14th European Health Forum Gastein - Innovation and Wellbeing: European Health in 2020 and Beyond
16/05/2011 - Submitted by: Hohenstein Rena
Plenary Sessions Health by Design – The road to wellbeing EHFG 2008 discussed our “vision” for health in the future. But the road to wellbeing requires more than vision. It is not a random outcome, health is achieved by designing the right building blocks to get us there.
Since 2008, we have moved into a period of tremendous change and challenge. The ‘resilience’ lessons of EHFG 2009 are being tested through continued financial crisis, natural disasters and political upheaval. Let us consider where we are today on our road to tomorrow’s wellbeing. Are we developing the appropriate tools, policy approaches, and relationships to achieve tomorrow’s goals?
The plenaries will consider these questions:
- Are we building effective health strategies amid continued economic uncertainty?
- Are we investing in the right technological innovations for future health & social needs?
- Are we breaking new frontiers in stakeholder engagement to involve the right actors?
Keynote speakers include: A Stöger, Minister for Health, Austria B Haarder, Minister for the Interior and Health, Denmark J Dalli, EU Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy, European Commission Z Jakab, Regional Director, WHO Europe
