Public Health and Welfare

09.11.2011 - 13.11.2011 | Copehagen, Bella Centre


Public health contributes to welfare by means of health promotion, health protection, diseases prevention and health services. Such interventions represent investments in a better health and better life for populations – a contribution to welfare. At the same time, they contribute to a healthy labour force.

The reverse relationship between welfare and health is also a well documented historic fact. In particular wealth and economic well-being is one of the determinants of health, but this holds for other aspects of welfare as well – material as well as immaterial.

During plenary sessions, we intend to give examples of the mutual relationship between public health and welfare – welfare development and public health.

During the parallel programme all aspects of public health are presented, discussed and commented in the 65 oral sessions and 60 moderated poster sessions.
