I International Conference on Planetary Health

I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PLANETARY HEALTH
Published: 19/04/2022

Next May 12th and 13th we will celebrate the first edition of the International Conference on Planetary Health in Andorra. This event is organized and promoted by different institutions of Andorra, the Government of Andorra, the Andorran Health Care Service (SAAS), the University of Andorra and the Andorra Research + Innovation.

The aim of the international days on global health is to learn more about the subject, to detect the main present and future challenges in order not only to raise awareness but also to analyze it and look for possible solutions. For this reason, we will have national and international experts with whom we will discuss the most latent issues of today, such as climate change, the digitalization of health systems, or the importance of biodiversity for global health, among others.
