At this virtual launch event the International Longevity Centre-UK (ILC) will present its new report on what works in delivering a preventative approach to health in an ageing world.
Speakers and facilitators include:
- Dr John Beard, previously Director of Ageing and Life Course, World Health Organization (WHO)
- Prof Annelies Wilder-Smith, Professor of Emerging Infectious Diseases, LSHTM and Focal Point of COVID-19 vaccines SAGE committee
- Dr Naoko Yamamoto, Assistant Director-General for Universal Health Coverage and Healthier Populations, WHO
- Arunima Himawan, Research Fellow, ILC-UK
Despite international consensus that prevention is better than cure, there’s been too little action for too long – particularly in the form of expenditure. This report will collate the findings of ILC’s two-year Delivering prevention project, which has explored:
- What works in delivering a preventative approach to health in an ageing world;
- How to improve take-up and adherence to preventative interventions;
- What we have learned from COVID-19;
- And how policymakers across the world need move from consensus to action on prevention.
