Primary Care International Conference: The Essential Role of Primary Health Care for Health Security and Securing Health Conference
Submitted on: July, 2023
This conference takes place nearly five years after the Declaration of Astana and will focus on advancing Primary Health Care (PHC) in developed and developing countries as a priority for national health security and securing the health of people around the world. The 2021 U.S. National Academies’ report, Implementing High Quality Primary Care led to the creation of a primary care strategy coordinating infrastructure within the US Federal Government (USG) that promises to build toward primary health care as a common good and as a solution to national health priorities. This new infrastructure also seeks to promote collaboration that will both strengthen primary care (PC) in the United States as well as primary health care around the world. It is supported by a national, external advisory function of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. While this US infrastructure may be a model for other countries, many nations are already ahead of the US in implementing fit-for-purpose primary health care, encouraging partnerships with public health, promoting global health security, and improving health equity.
WATCH: AIHM Wellness Webinar | NAM | Achieving Whole Health: A New Approach for Veterans and the Nation
Submitted on: July, 2023
Whole health is physical, behavioral, spiritual, and socioeconomic well-being as defined by individuals, families, and communities. To achieve this, whole health care is an interprofessional, team-based approach anchored in trusted longitudinal relationships to promote resilience, prevent disease, and restore health. Whole health care addresses the social and structural determinants at the root of poor health. It shifts the focus from a reactive disease-oriented medical care system to one that prioritizes disease prevention, health, and well-being. The person, not their symptoms, is at the center of whole health care. Join members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee that co-authored the recent report, Achieving Whole Health: A New Approach for Veterans and the Nation for a webinar to hear about how the country can move towards a system of whole person health that is accessible to all.
