“If we’re not feeling well, we can’t do other things.”

From Iceland’s Director of Public Health, a clear call to center well-being as a foundation, not a bonus.

“When our strategies differ, they offer us an opportunity to learn.”

A valuable reminder from Sweden’s Minister for Public Health.

We need fewer silos and more honest exchange, especially across borders.

“What is making us sick is related to our environment.”

@drmarianeira.bsky.social from the WHO asked us to start with the right diagnosis and to use public health as a tool for climate action.

“The clock strikes now. It’s time.”

From Renée Bengtsson’s opening remarks. A simple but urgent reminder that health equity cannot wait.

“Is there glory in primary prevention? No. But there should be.”

@drmarianeira.bsky.social (WHO) said what many of us in public health feel.
Prevention isn’t flashy, but it’s the foundation.

Day 1 of #NPHC2025 in Gothenburg.
This conference lives up to its theme: Public Health in a Changing World.

So much honesty about what’s not working in global health, and just enough hope to keep pushing forward.

Attending the 14th Nordic Public Health Conference in Gothenburg this week. The theme, Public Health in a Changing World, feels especially timely. Grateful to learn from Nordic and global leaders. #NPHC2025 #PhDLife #HealthPolicy
