Health problems such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease affect millions of people worldwide. But how can we prevent these diseases and improve public health? This WHO Summer Program in France will help participants explore practical solutions through systems thinking and innovation. The training includes expert lectures, interactive workshops, and hands-on activities. Participants will also learn about health policies, healthy ageing, and the use of artificial intelligence in public health. They can apply these skills to their own research and professional projects.
