O economista e professor Pedro Pita Barros, uma das vozes mais influentes na área da economia da saúde em Portugal, subiu ao palco do Atlantic Health Wellness Summit 2025 para provocar uma reflexão essencial:
👉 Será que estamos a medir o progresso pelos indicadores certos?
Na sua palestra, defendeu que o verdadeiro desenvolvimento das sociedades deve ser avaliado não apenas pelo PIB (Produto Interno Bruto), mas também pela FIB (Felicidade Interna Bruta) — uma métrica que valoriza o bem-estar, a saúde mental, a coesão social e a longevidade.
Temas principais abordados:
1. A necessidade de integrar o bem-estar e a saúde nos indicadores económicos
2. O papel das políticas públicas na promoção da felicidade coletiva
3. A economia da saúde como motor de sustentabilidade e de qualidade de vida
📍 Local: Alfândega do Porto
📅 Data: 11 de outubro de 2025
