Discussions focused on various systemic impediments, including discrimination, poverty, and inadequate access to health services. Through examination of various international programs that have demonstrated the ability to achieve equity through community involvement and/or policy changes, participants will explore potential strategies for furthering these kinds of activities and implementing plans to enhance legal systems, advocacy efforts, and inter-sectoral collaboration to protect vulnerable populations. Data and research will also serve as major points of emphasis within this session. The overall intent of this session is to promote dialogue, agreement formation and collaboration as we work together to build a global healthcare system that is fair and equitable for all.
