The University of Tartu has launched a new continuing education course entitled “Foreign nationals in Estonian health system”. The course is based on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global competency standards for refugee and migrant health and is the first of its kind in the world.

On 21 April at 18, all students and staff of higher education institutions in Tartu are invited to join a group cycle ride, “Rattaga saab!” (“Cycling works!”), starting from Town Hall Square.

Selged ja adressaadiga arvestavad, teaduspõhised, ent inimeste toimevõimekuse suhtes lugupidavad sõnumid toetavad suhtluses osalejate vastastikust usaldust ning abistavad inimesi informeeritud terviseotsuste tegemisel.

As possible ways forward, participants proposed strengthening digital and health literacy, providing institutional support for professionals, and raising awareness among both healthcare workers and patients.

In the genetic study on heart health led by the University of Tartu Estonian Biobank, the required number of participants – just over 2,500 gene donors – have now expressed their willingness to take part. With their help, researchers aim to determine whether heart disease can be more effectively prevented with cholesterol-lowering treatment based on genetic risk assessment.

Starting today, 25 March, the Estonian Biobank will invite selected gene donors to participate in an extensive heart health research study.

Entrepreneurs interested in developing new health technologies should focus on ensuring evidence-based practices, said Taavi Tillmann.
