ABOUT THE PROJECT
Welcome to Invest4Health, a Horizon Europe funded project!
We challenge traditional financing methods and transform how health promotion and disease prevention are financed through innovative strategies.
Explore our innovative approaches, including smart capacitating investment, social franchising, and new governance mechanisms with local communities to deliver socially equitable services. Join us on our exciting journey, and let’s view health as an investment rather than just a cost.
