Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Public health has changed profoundly in recent years, accompanied by a new vision of the relationship between citizens and health. However, health professionals represent the element of continuity over time, continuing to play a valuable role as a guarantor of the quality and centrality of people in the appropriateness and safety of medical care. The aspects of healthcare inequality, new challenges dictated by migration, prevention policies, gender medicine, the difficult relationship between communication and citizens, the use of social media, telemedicine and the fight against pandemics seem to be the greatest challenges that must be strengthened and deepened in the pursuit of responsible healthcare. These issues, to be addressed from an ethical, health, regulatory and social point of view, will be the fundamental points of the research contained within this Special Issue.
