Equity in Health Institute welcomes a new board member: Tarus Media

Equity in Health Institute – one of the most respectable and proactive institutions in EU, welcomes Maria Vasilescu, General Director of Tarus Media as member of the board. Having monitored Tarus Media’s activity during the past period they’ve reached to the conclusion that it shares the institution’s view. That is, generating concrete solutions for the healthcare system.
For the institute’s members, implementation is a “principal value” of any healthcare strategy or model and not an “added” one. This is why today they start talking about bringing worldwide known healthcare concepts to the real life. Regional and local authorities need concrete solutions in order to bring positive changes in the healthcare systems.  
A new model of public health spending is needed and it must be built together with stakeholders, institutions, trades, GP etc. This model needs to be drafted in a democratic way, starting with a set of debates.
This is why, the institute’s website - www.ehinst.net proposes, in the first line of debates, a key topic – European Public Health System - as an useful exercise to start a model of implementation on a large scale of health promotion and equity in health.
One of the most recent calls for action coming from DG Sanco, Brussels, “Together for Health – Europe 2020 and beyond”, states that “together, we can do more”.  Achieving a “hight level of health protection” for all European citizens became a clear objective for all member states.
Stakeholders discuss about tha fact that “investment in community-based prevention health promotion programmes to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, improve mental health and put an end to tobacco consumption would significantly reduce health care costs”. Differentiation between primary and secondary prevention is crucial. Moreover, European healthcare systems need to invest more in primary and secondary prevention.
Members of Equity in Health Institute work closely for generating concrete results regarding equity in health and health promotion.
