About the event
Come and join ELSA Groningen and the Groningen Centre for Health Law as we explore global challenges in public health through interdisciplinary perspectives, not only to avoid siloisation of disciplines, but to present opportunities for stronger collective efforts in response to the significant concerns of today and the future. We will explore the current global health challenges, such as low- and middle-income health services affordability, resource scarcity, accountability and human rights concerns, also in light of the climate crisis. Despite these challenges, it looks for solutions such as locally adapted interventions and capacity building for sustainable health services. 💙🩺
