Optimal Nutritional Care for All
Launched in 2014, the Optimal Nutritional Care for All (ONCA) campaign is a multi-stakeholder initiative to facilitate greater screening for risk of disease-related malnutrition/undernutrition and nutritional care implementation across Europe.
The campaign supports national professional societies, associations and patient groups in public health and health care in 19 countries to implement nutritional risk screening and optimal nutritional care. The European Nutrition for Health Alliance (ENHA) provides structure, coordinates, inspires and facilitates.
EU4Nutrition
Through the EU4Nutrition programme, ENHA and ONCA engage with the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, to secure nutrition care in European Union’s policies, and programmes and in the recommendations to its Member States.
Malnutrition: from Awareness towards Control
Malnutrition and undernutrition affect over 30 Million European citizens and place an unacceptable burden on European citizens and health care budgets.
Integrating patient-centered nutritional care in health policies will significantly contribute to prevention, better patient outcomes, and improved quality of life. Moreover, ample scientific evidence shows that optimizing nutritional care is a very (cost-) effective measure.
Despite this overwhelming scientific evidence, malnutrition is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, causing unacceptable inequalities between people and countries.
Optimal nutritional care must be considered a human right and patients should have equitable, timely access to the nutritional care needed to achieve their best possible outcome. The overall aim of the conference is to provide tools and background to implement nutritional care plans for all citizens, whether at home or in a health care facility.
Day 1 of the ONCA Conference will take place in the astonishing Teatro Reggio, the Royal Theatre of Turin.
Day 2 will take place in the beautiful conference rooms of the NH Centro Hotel, which is located close to Torino Porta Susa.
The Conference Programme
Join us for an inspiring journey at the Optimal Nutritional Care for All (ONCA) conference in the enchanting city of Turin, Italy. In 2024, the conference will be proudly hosted by the Italian ONCA team, which includes the society for artificial nutrition and metabolism SINPE, the Italian patient organizations, the active scientific societies collaborating with SINPE in the interdisciplinary effort to combat malnutrition, representatives of the Ministry of Health and many more.
This conference edition marks a significant step forward as we aspire to further transform the ONCA conference into an even more interactive ‘European nutritional care policy summit.’ While securing the patient’s perspective, we will explore both national and European Union-level policies, bridging the gap between nutrition science and effective policies.
