Strategic Goals
- Stimulating interest and excitement about moving health and prevention to the forefront of thinking at all levels, with a large emphasis on primary and early secondary prevention.

The importance of ‘infrastructure’, ‘data’, ‘knowledge’, ‘stakeholder engagement’, and ‘cross-sectoral partnerships’ as key elements of this approach.
- Highlight the importance of harnessing data and technology toward early disease detection, risk prediction, primary and secondary prevention through lifestyle and behavior change and newer therapies.
- Discussing approaches to addressing disparities in health and healthcare by addressing social and environmental determinants of health, attention to sustainable development, the impact of climate change, etc.
