It's Time to Focus on Health Prevention and Promotion | Derek Yach | TEDxMonteCarlo
Focusing on promoting health globally, Derek Yach describes how a shift in attitude to disease is needed by rethinking our approach to disease prevention. Yach states that we must redefine the unacceptable, define what is possible to prevent and that inaction is unacceptable. The healthy choice should become the easy choice.
