Humana Medicina

The Euro-Mediterranean Network for the Humanization of Medicine (HUM

MED) was founded in 2009 in Turin with the aim of bringing medicine back

to its primary, humanistic and holistic vocation.

Capturing a widespread need that has long emerged in the Western world,

the Euro-Mediterranean Network for the Humanization of Medicine unites

hospitals, universities, health protection bodies, and independent members

(researchers, anthropologists, artists, architects, economists, philosophers)

from Europe and from the Mediterranean basin, with the common aim of

reintroducing the arts, philosophy and spirituality into the context of an

increasingly technological and bureaucratized medicine.

The Euro-Mediterranean HUM MED Network supports and encourages

actions for the humanization of healthcare, designs and implements training

interventions for health professionals, develops support programs for active

participation processes for the improvement of psychophysical well-being

and quality of life aimed at to European citizens.
