The panelists explored key opportunities and challenges in preventive medicine, while engaging with thought-provoking questions from the audience, including Rhodah Nekesa and Marian Abrafi Osei from ZEF’s Division “Nutrition and Planetary Health” (ZEF HEALTH).

The discussion highlighted that successful prevention is not only about knowing what works but a shared societal responsibility. It includes creating environments that enable healthy choices through supportive food systems, nutritious and sustainable diets, and informed public policies. Prof. Dr. Ina Danquah emphasized the importance of involving communities in co-designing preventive solutions that are practical, equitable and culturally relevant.

MS Wissenschaft is a ship touring through Germany every year informing citizens about science and engaging them in a dialogue with scientists.
