The return of investment in childhood care prevention
November 27, 2021
Can one really take care of the early stages of life? Can we really expect to decrease organic and mental pathology and increase the individual’s human and social development potential? Or is it a mere utopia that cannot have practical and organizational feedback?
We are aware of how stark the economic realities of our time are, which in some ways understandably force us to come to terms with the cost-benefit ratio even in terms of health. The economic potential to invest in health care is unfortunately limited, and it is important to make it “yield.” There are those who see in these considerations a disappointing renunciation of being able to deal “humanely” with individuals. But has anyone done the math?
We decided, with this event, to put a strong economic slant on our arguments by involving leading economists with experience in health resource management and organizing a panel discussion with institutional and political figures.
We may find ourselves discovering together how a new medicine, based on reinforcing the initial roots of individuals, may be the best stock market listing imaginable; this also with unsuspected implications for the growth and human potential of our society.
