Innovative Health Systems Reform:
Shaping the future of public health towards screening and early diagnosis
Screening and early diagnosis play a critical role in detecting a disease in its earliest stages before any symptoms become noticeable. Secondary prevention is key to curbing a disease progression and maximising quality outcomes for patients while reducing healthcare costs. However, the implementation of early diagnosis and screening programmes is still lacking and unbalanced across EU Member States. In this frame, the EP Interest Group is delighted to invite you to join a roundtable discussion on the future of secondary prevention in Europe.
