Global launch: Delivering prevention in an ageing world

Event about prevention in an ageing organized by International Longevity Centre UK

07-Apr-2022

It’s never too late to prevent ill health. And the health and economic costs of failing to invest in preventative interventions across the life course are simply too high to ignore.

Join us for the global launch of our new report on what works in delivering a preventative approach to health in an ageing world; how we can improve take-up and adherence to preventative interventions; what we have learned from COVID-19; and how policymakers across the world need to act to ensure prevention becomes a priority as countries build back from the damage inflicted by the pandemic.

Speakers and facilitators include:

- Garth Graham, Director and Global Head of Healthcare and Public Health, Google and YouTube

- Dr John Beard, previously Director of Ageing and Life Course, WHO

- Prof Annelies Wilder-Smith, Professor of Emerging Infectious Diseases, LSHTM and Focal Point of COVID-19 vaccines SAGE committee

- Dr Naoko Yamamoto, Assistant Director-General for Universal Health Coverage and Healthier Populations, WHO

- John Weinman, Co-Director of HCL/KHP Centre for Adherence and Professor of Psychology as applied to Medicines “School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences, King’s College London
