With the global increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, health systems are moving towards the implementation of prevention strategies to support healthier communities.
However, this change is not easy due to current systems challenges worldwide: unsustainability, increasing demand, lack of integrated services, reactive care models that fail to prioritize the needs of vulnerable populations etc. Even more, “the prevention agenda” is becoming “a trendy and commercial topic” risking to move away from evidence and to be used to satisfy political interests.
Prevention is a fundamental aspect of the work of family doctors (FDs) but “how” we deliver that function brings debate in professional forums.
EUROPREV plays a pivotal role in this context and “Madrid 2026’s forum”, to be held on March 26-27, is a perfect opportunity to share evidence and experiences that will support European and International primary care networks to move “Towards a safe, effective and person-centered prevention”
