Radical Health Foundation’s Gareth Presch in Key Discussion on Healthcare Transformation at THCS in Naples, Italy
On February 19, 2025, global health leaders gathered in Naples for a landmark discussion at the Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) event, focusing on reshaping healthcare systems to meet modern challenges.
The conversation was ignited by the white paper shared by the European Health University Association, focused on the need to integrate hospital and community services to accelerate the transformation towards innovative and sustainable health ecosystems. The paper attracted interest by the Active and Healthy Living Coalition (EURAHL) and by the THCS to benefit individuals and society.
Gareth Presch, CEO of the World Health Innovation Summit, played a pivotal role in presenting the Radical Health Foundation (RHF), their Tour, and the transformative potential of innovation centres to drive sustainable change.
During the session, titled “Rethinking Healthcare Systems: The Right Challenge for a Joint Undertaking,” Presch outlined how RHF and The Tour are accelerating healthcare transformation by fostering collaboration, innovation, and investment in community-driven solutions. They showcased how Innovation Centres—aligned with the WHIS preventative model—offer a structured yet agile approach to delivering preventative, precision health solutions, bridging the gap between policy, research, and real-world implementation.
Moderated by Maddalena Illario (THCS Co-chair) and Michele Calabrò (EUREGHA, THCS Advisory Board Member), the session also included:
Johan Van Eldere (EUHA) – Updates on the EUHA Position Paper and pathways for broader collaboration
Michele Calabrò (EURAHL) – The role of EURAHL in fostering innovative healthcare solutions
Maddalena Illario – Joint efforts toward the Health Policy Platform (HPP)
An open discussion and vote on the endorsement of the EUHA Position Paper

Revolutionizing Health Systems: Precision Health Meets Prevention
At the core of this partnership is the belief that Precision Health = Prevention x Precision. Unlike traditional precision medicine, which focuses on customizing treatments post-diagnosis, precision health proactively identifies risks and lifestyle factors to prevent illness. This shift offers the dual benefit of reducing healthcare costs and improving quality of life.
The Precision Health Tour will amplify this message through exclusive one-day events in key cities across Europe and elsewhere, featuring:
Visionary Thought Leaders: A core group of global experts balanced with local changemakers to ensure diverse, actionable insights.
Engaging Formats: Panels, workshops, and intimate networking sessions to foster meaningful collaborations.
Policy and Innovation Agendas: A focus on actionable solutions for governments, healthcare providers, and innovators to transition towards precision prevention.
