Inhalt The lecture series deals with the interdisciplinary topic of Health Sciences & Health Policy which includes Human Functioning, Disability and Health. The talks will discuss and reflect the topic in all its aspects and are held from internal (Department Health Sciences & Health Policy and Swiss Paraplegic Research) and external experts within the field and related disciplines. The lectures are open to the public and participants are very welcome. Rehabilitation in Health Systems: A Global perspective In this lecture series, international experts on rehabilitation will review the promise, and the challenges, of strengthening rehabilitation in global health systems through collaborations with academic, governmental and non-governmental partners as well as the private sector. The lectures will focus on policy and programming, service delivery and financing, as well as clinical practice. As well, given the central role that information plays at every level – clinical, managerial and policy – the speakers will contribute to our understanding of the primary focus of enhancing the capacity of health systems to report on information relevant to human functioning in a standardized, and international comparable way.

Lernziele A rapidly ageing global population and a rapidly increasing prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases means that this century will see a dramatic increase in the number of people with moderate to severe limitations on their mobility, communication, cognition, and other domains of functioning. The WHO has recently proclaimed that in the future we will be living longer but with more disability. Although our health systems and public health institutions will always be concerned to provide curative, preventive and health promotive services, the increase in chronic health problems and multimorbidity suggests that rehabilitation services will be in the highest demand. More than the other health strategies, the aim of rehabilitation is to optimize functioning for people with permanent health problems. It might argued, indeed, that rehabilitation is the key health strategy for the 21st century.
