The Conference
Welcome to the 7th International Conference on Health Research
The VII International Conference on Health Research: Challenges to Science for a Sustainable Future aims to focus on research responses to rapid global changes, based on a set of political, social, cultural, educational and economic transformations that influence health. It also provides an opportunity for academics and professionals from different health areas to create bridges of knowledge and promote interest in research and developments in health care.
This conference will take place at the Escola Superior de Saúde Norte da Cruz Vermelha Portuguesa , on April 2, 3 and 4, 2025. Evidence-based practice in the health field is extremely important for safe, adequate and scientifically valid care. All health processes and procedures must be properly contextualized, coherent and rigorous, so that they are valid and recognized by the scientific and global community in favor of a more sustainable future.
The challenge is to build an innovative response in the areas of global health, sustainability, health education, family and community health, responses to health/disease processes, health information systems and technologies, virtual reality and simulation. Following on from previous editions, we aim to promote excellent collaboration between academics and professionals from various health disciplines in the creation of research networks.
