Public health strand
In addition, there are huge developments in health technology that allow us all to check sleep, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, reactions to different nutrients, map genes, get full hormone, vitamin and blood analyses without much effort or cost.
Instead of harnessing the power of new technologies and people's engagement, public health policy often shrinks into demands for new regulations and restrictions.
At EPHI, we have a different idea. We believe in the abilities of individuals and we believe in new technologies and developments. We also believe that public health is created from the bottom up and from the inside out, not the other way around.
Current projects
- Healthier and greener food
- The spread and organization of vaccine resistance
- Harm reduction in ANDT policy
- Effective measures against antibiotic resistance
