We Norwegians on sick leave - with GP Kave Rashidi

We Norwegians on sick leave - lecture by GP Kave Rashidi

How can we feel increasingly ill – when we have never had better conditions for being healthy?

Kaveh Rashidi, GP and author, challenges established health myths and provides honest, thought-provoking perspectives on mental health, sick leave and pressure of expectations in working life.

A lecture that provides good insight, recognition - and new ways of thinking about health.

We have never had better health in Norway than we do now. The population is living longer, and access to health care is at its best.

We are often on sick leave, and feel increasingly ill. We top the disability statistics and report lower and lower quality of life.

What is happening, and what can we do to reverse the trend? Why are we Norwegians so sick? How can you as an individual, but also your environment, become healthier?

With professional weight and engaging communication, he inspires more robust employees and more health-promoting workplaces.
