In collaboration with the Italian Brain Health Strategy Partners, Italian Society of Neurology

Prioritising Brain Health: A Global Imperative for Public Health 

8 October 2024, 09:00 -13:00 CEST

This side event, held alongside the G7 Meeting of Health Ministers, aims to spotlight the critical importance of brain health as a central component of public health strategies for all countries. As neurological disorders and mental health issues become increasingly prevalent worldwide, the need to prioritise brain health has never been more urgent. The event will convene leading experts and policymakers to discuss innovative approaches, share best practices, and outline strategic frameworks for integrating brain health into national and global health policies.  

By focusing on awareness, education, promotion, prevention and strategic planning, this G7 side event seeks to foster an understanding of brain health's importance to social and health policy and how to plan and raise awareness at national and global levels so as to increase global health and reduce the burden of mental and neurological disorders The event is part of the EAN Brain Health Summits that foster European and global awareness on the importance of including brain health within the health priorities of all countries as well as consider prevention . G7 Leaders, together with all world leaders, can play their part by declaring Brain Health (neurological, mental, social) a top priority, by coordinating policies and by taking a One Health approach with brain health at the centre of healthcare systems, policies and interventions.
