| European Conference Raises Urgency to Stop Malnutrition Malnutrition remains a highly prevalent and neglected problem across Europe. Yet a move from Malnutrition to Wellnutrition can easily be made by delivering basic standards of care. A European conference "From Malnutrition to Wellnutrion" on 22 November in Brussels brings together a wide group of stakeholders to raise awareness about malnutrition and find ways to stop the time bomb facing Europe. The one-day conference has a simple objective: to stop malnutrition and raise awareness of the importance of 'wellnutrition' in all clinical and community settings. The President of the ENHA, Professor Jean-Pierre Baeyens hopes the conference will work as a catalyst to build an active nutrition and health platform. It should turn recommendations into action at both the EU and national levels. From Malnutrition to Wellnutrition will be chaired by Mrs. Heidi Hautala, a former Member of the European Parliament and a member of Parliament in Finland. The conference will be opened by the Finnish Minister for Health and Social Affairs, Mrs. Liisa Hyssälä. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
