TRANSFORMING HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION FINANCING
Join us on December 10, from 10:00 to 12:30 CET, for the Invest4Health Mid-term Workshop—a virtual event hosted by the Invest4Health Horizon Europe project. Invest4Health is challenging traditional financing methods and exploring innovative approaches, including smart capacitating investment, social franchising, and new governance mechanisms, to finance health promotion and disease prevention, delivering socially equitable services to communities.
This mid-term workshop allows us to share our research findings and other insights, get external opinions on our challenges, and attract new regions to collaborate on scaling innovative financing solutions for health promotion and disease prevention.
