SUMMARY:Stepping up prevention of non-communicable diseases in Europe: a State of Health in the EU webinar
DESCRIPTION:\n\nStepping up prevention of non-communicable diseases in Europe: a State of Health in the EU webinar\n\n\nNon-communicable diseases (NCDs)\, including cancer\, cardiovascular diseases\, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases\, are the leading causes of preventable illness and death in the EU. The stakes are high\, with an estimated 2.4 million potential productive life years lost in the EU in 2022 due to premature NCD mortality among the working-age population. \n\n\nIn response\, countries have intensified multisectoral action\, from taxation\, regulatory\, communication\, and environmental policies. When it works\, NCD prevention can ease the growth in health care costs while improving labour force participation and productivity. \n\n\nSo\, how can countries step up prevention efforts and adapt to emerging challenges? How can policy makers sustain momentum across sectors? And how do we ensure prevention delivers measurable gains for health and the economy? Join us to find out! \n\n\nParticipants: \n\n\nStephanie Winitsky\, London School of Economics and Politics & European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies \n\n\nMichele Cecchini\, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) \n\n\nYvette Azzopardi\, Directorate General For Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE)\, European Commission \n\n\nJelle Evers\, Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (IKNL) \n\n\nModerators: Ewout van Ginneken & Erica Richardson (European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies) \n\n\nTo register for webinar please click here: link to webinar registration \n\n\n\n\n
