An important informative event will take place in Riva del Garda on Saturday, May 17, from 9 AM to 4:30 PM, at the local conference center. Organized by the provincial health services company, the meeting titled “One Hundred and One Ways to Avoid Surgery: How to Prevent Common Diseases Leading to Surgical Intervention and Live Healthy and Happy” aims to raise awareness among the population about the importance of surgical prevention. Under the scientific direction of Alessandro Carrara, head of the General Surgery Unit in Rovereto and Arco, the event is free of charge, but registration is mandatory, and it is open not only to the public but also to healthcare professionals and journalists.
Registration is open until May 11 for the public and until May 8 for healthcare staff, via Eventbrite.it or the ECM Trento website/app. Recent studies indicate that by adopting appropriate preventive measures, approximately 80% of chronic conditions can be avoided, and hospital admissions can be reduced by 50%, thus contributing to a more sustainable and efficient healthcare system. The event therefore represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen collective awareness regarding individual and public health, promoting a culture of prevention that is essential for the well-being of the community.
