Last week, we were proud to see WifOR Institute’s Head of Health Economics, Dr. Malina Müller, take the stage at the Herzmedizin-Summit 2024 in Berlin. She delivered a keynote on Heart Health and Prosperity: Positioning Healthcare Spending as a Catalyst for Economic Resilience, as well as an interview on the topic.    She shared the stage with other relevant speakers such as Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach and the president of the German Society for Cardiology Prof. Dr. Holger Thiele.    In her address, she emphasized that health investments contribute to workforce productivity, innovation, and long-term societal well-being. During her interview, she further explained this idea:    💡 Effective health policies not only enhance societal well-being but also reduce costs and boost productivity, thus laying the foundation for a resilient economy and thriving society. 💡 Simple yet impactful measures like regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and routine checks for blood pressure and cholesterol can significantly reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Prevention is a quick win! 💡 Improving the healthcare system requires cooperation among stakeholders, well-defined objectives, and transparent communication. These elements are essential for driving change.    Her insights reinforce the importance of viewing health not as a cost, but as a critical investment for sustainable growth. At WifOR Institute, we promote decision-making based on valid data. Our studies show that targeted health investments not only improve public health but also drive employment, economic growth, and innovation.    We would like to thank Dr. Winfried Kösters for moderating and Herzmedizin.de for organizing such an impactful event.    Watch Dr. Müller’s interview here (in German): https://lnkd.in/dyCQmAxY     To learn more about WifOR Institute’s research head to: https://lnkd.in/e3t6sPPz     #HealthForAll  #HealthIsAnInvestment
