“……Public health contributes to welfare by means of health promotion, health protection, disease prevention and health services. Such interventions represent investments in a better health and better life for populations – a contribution to welfare. At the same time, they contribute to a healthy labour force.
The concept of welfare is usually associated with satisfying basic human needs, such as having food, shelter, education, work, economic income etc. Often health is included in the concept of welfare. Nations having the economic ability and economic will to safeguard these needs for broad groups in society are often called welfare states.
The reverse relationship between welfare and health is also a well documented historic fact. In particular wealth and economic well-being is one of the determinants of health, but this holds for other aspects of welfare as well – material as well as immaterial.
During Copenhagen 2011 we intend, through keynote lectures, to give examples of the mutual relationship between Public Health and Welfare – Welfare Development and Health.
We are looking forward to the following invited Keynote speakers who will focus on these themes in connection with the main focus of “Public Health and Welfare”.
