Mestrado Erasmus Mundus HYGIEIA - Health and Wellbeing Across the Lifespan

HYGIEIA is a 2-year English-taught program that involves the Lusófona University (Lisbon), University Belgrade (Serbia) , and the University of Balearic Islands (Spain), as well as stakeholders from academia, industry, medical societies, and healthcare providers. The academic program results from a common vision among partners that allowed us to create one single joint curriculum. Hailing from Greek mythology, Hygieia embodied the virtues of cleanliness, sanitation and health, adored by her power to prevent rather than cure sickness. This mythological figure seems to have a particular relevance in the current world, where integrated preventive strategies throughout the lifespan are in need to achieve Health and wellbeing of the populations.
