Strengthening Community Health Worker Programs

Learn to deliver high-quality primary health care at scale through national community health worker programs.

Telemonitoring and continuity of care for older subjects: comparing experience an identifying common solutions

The COVID19 pandemic highlighted some structural – organizational and cultural – limitations of our dominant model of (health)care.

Notably, the onset of multimorbidity occurs 10–15 years earlier in people living in the most deprived areas compared with the most a?uent.

The Workshop aims at ...

The global public health community will be meeting at a critical time for our planet.
