ENSP NOVA's participation in the international event reinforced its presence in key forums for reflection on health systems and organizations management, innovation, and transformation. The delegation included director Sónia Dias, deputy director Rui Santana, faculty, researchers, and students from the School.
The scientific agenda featured interventions in areas such as integrated care, health literacy, obesity, artificial intelligence, digital skills, cancer, and new care models. Director Sónia Dias presented the Portuguese experience in Social Prescription, focusing on strengthening integrated, person-centered care for older populations, based on a pilot project in the Algarve region.
Researchers like Ana Rita Pedro and Ana Gama presented work on chronic kidney disease, health literacy, and obesity, while professor Teresa Magalhães moderated a session on international partnerships and access to healthcare.
The Congress participation also included an international study visit to learn about the South Korean healthcare system and reference institutions. The School also presented several scientific works in poster format, addressing topics such as support for individuals with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis, implementation of cancer interventions, application of artificial intelligence in Public Health surveillance, and digital skills of older health professionals.
“"Estar presente num fórum internacional desta dimensão permite-nos não apenas partilhar o conhecimento produzido na ENSP NOVA, mas também participar na discussão sobre os modelos de cuidados e de gestão que estão a transformar os sistemas de saúde. A nossa presença em áreas tão diversas mostra precisamente a amplitude da Saúde Pública e a importância de aproximar investigação, formação, decisão e prática."
