About prevention and health meetings
To mobilize and accelerate the sharing of prevention knowledge, in 2018 the Ramsay Santé Corporate Foundation launched the 1st edition of the. Health Prevention Meetings. Nearly 15 French and international speakers came to discuss the current place of prevention in the French healthcare system and to present different experiences abroad.
In 2019, the 2nd edition on the theme " Does being young seriously damage your health? " was placed under the patronage of the Ministry of Solidarity and Health. The event focused on young people's relationship with preventive health care, thanks to the combined views of health professionals, prevention experts and numerous players in the field. Inaugurated by Gabriel Attal, Secretary of State to the Minister of Education and Youth, this 2nd edition used the results of the citizens' consultation organized among young people to fuel the day's debates.
Not very receptive to barrier measures and prevention, young people have come through the global health crisis with a sense of invulnerability. Yet their mental health is an issue, sadly embodied in the high stagnation of suicide figures, the 2nd leading cause of death among young people after road accidents. For the 3rd edition of the Health Prevention Meetings, the Ramsay Sante Foundation set out to understand why the figures are not falling, and to identify existing solutions.
