This event was held alongside the G20 Health Ministers’ meeting in Okayama, Japan. It brought together key global policymakers and thought leaders to discuss how the role of healthcare systems in prevention across the life course can be supported, and the benefits that preventative interventions have on economic productivity and health system sustainability.

This event is part of our global engagement series on Prevention in an ageing world that is seeking to reframe the discourse about prevention and to promote preventative interventions right across the life course.
