Health ministers explore creating a health chain reaction for life

The life-course approach, meaning looking at health through the life cycle, will take centre stage for the first time in Europe at the WHO Life-course conference in Minsk, Belarus. Ministers of Health and representatives of 53 Member States will join WHO experts to explore a new take on policy-making, focusing on the developmental origins of health and disease, as well as making a compelling case for policies that address health at the transitions in life, across ages and generations.
