-
Hotel Alphof
Breakout /
in deutscher Sprache

Numerous studies prove the good cost/benefit ratio of health promotion. However, our healthcare system is still largely based on “repair measures”. What are the direct and indirect benefits of health promotion for our society? How can we promote healthy living – and how can we create living environments which promote healthy lifestyles? How can we organise and fund health promotion? How can we succeed in instilling the necessary health awareness in individuals?
