The enormous advances made by medicine over the past two hundred and fifty years have accustomed us to taking health for granted. Out of the blue, however, the pandemic has revealed to us that we have hidden vulnerabilities and that individual health is by no means unrelated to collective and system health. The challenge we face today therefore requires us to rethink our relationship with health so that it is more conscious and sustainable. Ilaria Capua helps us build this path by weaving a new dialogue between past, present and future, and she does so through some key words that can be used as a source of inspiration, words capable of defining a new concept of health, that of circular health. It reminds us how curiosity was the spring that broke down the wall of the invisible or how the courage to pick up a map stopped a cholera epidemic. It makes us reflect on how we exploit the planet’s resources, forgetting that we are fully immersed in the four elements that govern our health and the Earth’s overall balance. She traces a path for future renewal and identifies its new cornerstones in respect for nature and the millennial balance that it has been able to create long before us, in commitment, especially if it passes through small gestures of individual responsibility, and in equity, since we live in an integrated system of which people, animals, and plants are part, and to save ourselves we cannot leave anyone behind.
Ilaria Capua draws, in short, a historical and emotional atlas that will allow us to interpret the times we are living in, a guide to imagine how our health could change if only we could change our paradigm and our vision. His is an immediate and easy-to-understand work but one that does not forgo in-depth study and higher reasoning, the kind that always reaches from the head even to the heart.
