Keynote Session: A Better Business Case for Prevention
Speaker: Bram Wouterse
Speaker: Bram Wouterse
Investing in healthier lifestyles and other forms of prevention is seen by many as the key to improve our population’s health and tackle inequalities. At the same time, many countries are lagging behind in implementing preventive measures and finding financing for lifestyle interventions from governments, health insurers, or other parties is hard. Bram Wouterse discusses why the business case for prevention is often so hard to make and what can be done to improve it. This requires efforts from policy makers and financers, but also from public health professionals and lifestyle innovators themselves. A key shift in perspective is that we need to start thinking about prevention not as a way to save health care costs, but as a cost-effective investment in health.
