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
When Kry launched digital doctor’s visits, it changed the way patients access healthcare. But developing new solutions in a system with 21 regions, varying regulations, and reimbursement models isn’t always easy. This week’s episode features Ameli Norling, a doctor and Kry’s Country Manager for Sweden. We talk about innovation and private healthcare, how healthcare can become more accessible to patients, and why poor and inefficient care also ends up being expensive.---“Health for the Unhealthy” highlights perspectives on public health that rarely come up in the debate but that many people think about. 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.
