EPHI - Environment and Public Health Institute

The Environment and Public Health Institute is a think tank that addresses the environmental and health threats of our time. We do so with the conviction that free enterprise, economic growth, new technologies and free choice are not threats to our environment and health, but rather a prerequisite for them.

EPHI - Environment and Public Health Institute
Can we build a society that not only treats illness but also helps us stay healthy longer? EPHI CEO Marie Söderqvist discusses the report ”From Health Care to Wellness—How Longevity Strengthens Public Health and the Economy.” We discuss how preventive care, early diagnosis, and new technology can give us more healthy years and why longevity can improve the health of all of Sweden. Read the report here: https://ephi.se/publikationer/rapport-fran-sjukvard-till-halsovard/---Hälsa. The report highlights perspectives on public health that rarely surface in the debate but are on many people’s minds. Can you eat a bag of chips a day without gaining weight? Is it better to be an active exerciser and overweight than to be sedentary and thin? Should I smoke e-cigarettes or use snus? Should I cut out meat and sugar—or neither? Experts come together to answer the questions they don’t usually get asked. And politicians try to figure out what they actually want to achieve and how. “Health for the Unhealthy” is led by Dr. Vincent Amble-Naess and EPHI’s communications director, Nicolina Söderqvist. ---The Environment and Public Health Institute (EPHI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank and forum that addresses the environmental and health challenges of our time.
