Course objectives

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death and disability in most European countries. Secondary prevention has become a cornerstone of treatment, but a majority of patients do not achieve guideline standards, predisposing them to progression of disease, recurrent events, and heart failure. Modern preventive cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation programmes, appropriately adapted to medical and cultural settings, have the potential to effectuate a healthier lifestyle, better risk factor control and adherence with cardioprotective medication. However, in most European countries,

less than 50% of cardiac patients attend these programmes. There is a clear need to improve the situation by increasing the number of programmes, facilitating the access to these programmes, and tailoring these programmes to the requirements of the patients. Moreover, the fixed-term and often centre-based programmes have to be modified based on patients preferences and provide concepts for long-term management. The World Health Organisation underscores in their action plan for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases the importance of improving quality and coverage of secondary prevention and rehabilitation following heart attacks and stroke.

Target audience

This course is addressed to the multidisciplinary team of specialists working in the field of secondary prevention, cardiac rehabilitation, and sports cardiology, encompassing cardiologists, sports physicians, physiotherapists, sports scientists and nurses.

The event “Preventive Cardiology, Sports Cardiology & Exercise based Rehabilitation: From Set-up to New Frontiers” is accredited by the European Union of Medical Specialists - The European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (UEMS-EACCME) for 24 hours of External CME credits.

We thank you in advance for your support.

Geneva Health Forum, 3^rd to 5^th May 2022: "Covid-19 Pandemic and Environmental Emergency: Reinventing Global Health in Times of Global Changes"

The Geneva Health Forum (GHF) brings us together around major global health issues. It gives a voice to actors from the field and bridges them with policy-makers present in Geneva. It gives visibility to innovative, accessible and sustainable practices and tools and to important initiatives. After more than 15 years of existence, the GHF has become a crucial event in the field of global health.

For its ninth edition, which will take place from 3^rd to 5^th May 2022, the Geneva Health Forum will address crucial issues for our future. Under the theme “Covid-19 Pandemic and Environmental Emergency: Reinventing Global Health in Times of Global Changes”, the GHF will help us learn the lessons from the Covid-19 crisis and better understand the impact of environmental degradation on human health.

Indeed, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted our fragility as societies in the face of zoonoses, diseases that appear in the animal world and that can spread to human beings. Biodiversity loss and fragile ecosystems are factors that worsen this risk. Pollution and climate change are already having an impact on our health.

One thing is clear: our health is intrinsically linked to the health of the environment and global health must be revisited in the light of these implications. A paradigm shift is needed.

The Geneva Health Forum will provide a platform to help us better understand these issues and discover initiatives that can offer possible solutions.

Learn more about the thematic and discover the preliminary programme!

True to its spirit of networking platform, the GHF 2022 will be held face-to-face at the Geneva International Conference Center (CICG). In order to allow our public who cannot join us to participate in the event remotely, we will broadcast a selection of panels on a digital platform.

Finally, the GHF will offer the opportunity to visit the Global Health Lab, our innovation fair, where more than 100 innovations will be present. The booths of our partners and our contributors will welcome you to discuss on many themes and the scientific posters selected for you await you both on site and on our digital platform.
