Adolescent. Why is adolescent health important?
The doing of today is for the benefits of tomorrow
Through adolescents research we could:
- Determine early prevention and treatment for health problems that tailor perfectly to their needs
- Help to set future healthy lifestyles to curb health problems that could lead to premature mortality during adulthood
- Aid in predicting future health burden and health dynamics of the society
- Provide robust evidence for accelerated action towards the health of adolescents
This event will covers:

- How they are important?
