Social security for healthy societies: Embracing a new mandate for prevention
Technical Report
As well as taking stock of the types and range of preventive health activities available to social security institutions, the project considered three topical areas: early disease prevention in the active population, including workplace initiatives; preventing illness among vulnerable groups; and laying the groundwork for more active and independent ageing. Each of these themes underscores a distinct but related set of priorities and challenges for addressing health risks at early stage and thereby reducing the human, financial and economic costs associated with poor health and accidents. These three topical priorities structure the latter part of the report.
