Society. Health. Welfare.
8th International Multidisciplinary Research Conference
24–26 March 2021 Rīga Stradiņš University (Online Event)
Insight into the Conference
Public health challenges in the 21st century include those inherited from the past, as well as new and emerging challenges related to the current epidemiological situation, technologies as well as changes in attitudes and behaviour. The COVID-19 pandemic confirmed that maintaining health requires the involvement and integration of many people outside the health sector.
- Which are the most effective interventions and activities to maintain and improve health and wellbeing in society in general, and in workplaces?
- How should society and specific target groups be informed?
- How can it be ensured that health systems respond to new challenges?
- Which are the optimal tools in understanding the health psychology of different client and patient groups?
Public health has a comprehensive focus on health and wellbeing that requires the involvement of each and every one of us, as well as collaboration with stakeholders inside and outside the health sector. Universal health coverage includes many public health personal health care services such as health advice, behavioural counselling, vaccination and more. It also includes occupational health services for workplaces with many of the existing risks being currently re-evaluated and a number of new, emerging challenges resulting in new types of occupational health hazards. Climate change and the pandemic have brought up discussions and made us re-evaluate the potential impact of environmental factors on the health and wellbeing of populations.
The human being is at the center of society, but personalised care takes a whole-system approach integrating services around a person and includes health care, social care, public health and wider services.
We are looking forward to discuss the latest research results, to learn from each other and to strengthen our networks for future joint activities. Together we can manage a lot!
