Delegates from all over the world who attended the Ninth International Conference on Health, Wellness & Society.
Countries represented.
Almost on a daily basis, the volume of healthcare research and wealth of groundbreaking healthcare technology continues to expand, leading to more advanced health delivery systems and an increased quality of living. Not all people or all groups are benefiting from these advancements equally; significant barriers to accessing these developments still exist across the globe. While some of these barriers are well documented and described, others still are just being uncovered and understood. This conference aims to explore the implications and effects that geographic, socioeconomic, and political barriers pose to health and wellbeing as well as constructing means across these barriers moving forward.
The Ninth International Conference on Health, Wellness & Society featured plenary sessions by some of the world’s leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
