Webinar 11 September 2025: Rethinking Health Systems for Resilience and Wellbeing

Join the webinar “Towards Resilience and Wellbeing: Rethinking Health Systems in a Planetary Health Era” on 11 September from 12:00 to 13:15 CEST. This fourth webinar in the webinar series Helsinki 2025 will bring together distinguished experts and practitioners to examine how health systems can move beyond crisis response towards building long-term resilience within a wellbeing society and economy – benefiting both people and the planet. Discussions will focus on how policy-makers can strengthen health system performance in the face of adversity, ensuring essential functions continue while minimising the impact of shocks on population health.

The session will also explore the role of public investment in promoting health and sustainability, with insights from leading European experts. Moderated by Andrea Schmidt (Austrian National Public Health Institute), the programme will feature keynote speaker Julia Zimmermann (European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies) and presentations from Jaana Halonen (Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare), Nadine Zillmann (Austrian National Public Health Institute), and João Vasco Santos (University of Porto, ULS Santo António, EUPHA Public Health Economics Section). Save the date and join the conversation on shaping resilient, sustainable health systems for the future.
