Event type: | Interactive Workshop / Skill-Building Session |
Event format: | In-person |
Description: | The speech therapist plays a key role in maintaining and restoring communication and oral-functional abilities in individuals with various speech, voice, and swallowing disorders. These difficulties often affect not only physical functioning but also an individual's mental health and social participation, ultimately leading to a decreased quality of life.
Quality of life is closely linked to a sense of autonomy, self-confidence, and active involvement in social life. With the intervention of a speech therapist, individuals with speech, voice, or swallowing disorders can regain their ability to express themselves, eat safely, and engage socially. This contributes to improved emotional well-being, enhanced self-esteem, and a more fulfilling daily life. |

This webinar will highlight the key role of PHC as a cornerstone of health system resilience and explore how strengthening PHC, through timely and innovative reforms, bolsters health systems resilience. Moreover, it will highlight European success stories whereby structural PHC reforms supported by the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), are contributing to health systems resilience and investing in a future-oriented approach towards improved delivery of care.
