The future of humanity depends on visionary leadership and diversity. A new story based on scientific facts and love in action for a more peaceful, just, sustainable, healthier and joyful world is the only solution.’ - Deepak Chopra

We are currently experiencing urgent problems on many aspects; health and social (pandemic) as well as environmental fronts (disruption of the environment, pollution in nature, climate change), which all are interconnected and tightly related.

Sustainability is fundamental for functioning of the healthcare system. Well-being and sustainability are not separated, they are related values. Studies indicate how the health service is defined as sustainable, how it needs to be operated to meet individual and public health needs. I would like to use my knowledge on this important issue with the cooperation of experts of the region, since this is a future vision for human and environmental well-being: to stress the connection of physical and mental health, happiness and nature.

Going towards sustainability and well-being is essential in order to reduce the health-care costs, to avoid the next pandemic and heal our future, and make it equal for everybody. Good nutrition, mental health and access to healthcare services are fundamental parts of society.
