Descripción: 

PAHO has started to transform a life course vision into an approach that contributes to a paradigm shift in the Building Health Throughout the Life Course.  “Health and Development: The Absence of Disease is Not Enough” is the first of a webinar series to promote the life course approach.

 

Objetivo(s) del evento: 
  • To help decision-makers and public health professionals to understand the life course meaning and concepts, which is essential to comprehend how health develops and changes throughout the life course.
  • To describe how the life course model allows us to address health disparities by generating mechanisms to improve health and well-being by promoting the vision of health as the product of a series of experiences that contribute to or detract from health in the near and long term.
