The EPH Conference aims to contribute to the improvement of public health in Europe by offering a means for exchanging information and a platform for debate to researchers, policy makers, and practitioners in the field of public health and health services research as well as public health training and education in Europe. The European Public Health Conference Foundation, the European Public Health Association and the Slovenian National Institute of Public Health invite you to the 11th European Public Health Conference.
Epidemiological and demographic transitions are challenging the sustainability of future health care and the quality of life of increasing numbers of chronic patients. Although communicable diseases are better controlled these days, there is scepticism over vaccination and consequently its refusal, problems related to AMR and new pathogens.
Modern health strategies acknowledge that health care alone cannot improve health and wellbeing of today's populations. A challenge that is often mentioned is that of insufficient health literacy. This impedes the smooth implementation of many actions and interventions. Opportunities for public health exist in raising the overall level of health literacy, enabling populations at large to take better control over their own health.
Opportunities exist as well in advancing healthy public policies and making the life cycle approach a leading concept. It is becoming necessary to think beyond the traditional vulnerable groups approach and, instead, use stratifying approaches based on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population groups.
