GPHW2024: Enhancing and democratizing Governance in Global Health

Theme: Fostering the Development of the Right Competencies within Tomorrow’s Health Workforce

Date and Time: 9th April 2024 |15:00-16:00 BRT (Brasília Time) UTC/GMT

Event Description: The recent crises in Western democracies pose new questions for healthcare systems around the world. To celebrate World Health Day, we propose to debate this issue with the participation of members of two Latin American public health associations (from Colombia and Argentina) and a specialist in Global Health from Portugal. Colombia faces serious challenges and attacks on its democratic government, which has undertaken a reform aimed at making Colombians’ access to the right to health more equitable. Argentina has just elected a right-wing government that has put access to healthcare and the very subsistence of its public policies into question. How are these themes related, what do we have to learn in the framework of international relations and Global Health? What is the role of public health associations in these circumstances?

Panelists:

Juan Eduardo Guerrero – Colombian Public Health Association

Alejandra Sanches Cabezas – Argentine Public Health Association

Tiago Correia – Professor of Global Health – NOVA University of Lisbon
