Application for Call for Abstracts
For the Swiss Public Health Conference on "Public health and primary care: stronger together"
12 - 13 september 2023, Lausanne
Rapidly changing health needs of the population, the growing proportion of older people and the associated increase in chronic and multiple diseases, as well as socio-economic inequalities, constantly bring new challenges to the health system and require regular adjustments to primary health care. In order to maintain the health of the population, expand treatment options and at the same time control costs, public resources must be used efficiently.
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract either for a 10-minute oral presentation at one of the parallel sessions, for a topical workshop or for a poster.
Topics
Topics for submission are related to the conference theme or any other research topic reflecting ongoing public health sciences and challenges in Switzerland.
