This year we aim to showcase some of the most advanced practices which aim at improving health and wellbeing. But can such practices deliver health for all on an equitable basis? While significant advances have been made to improve health and wellbeing, there are still vast disparities in health performance across the globe. Can a fair distribution of healthcare be achieved on a needs-based level? How can best practices at the micro-level deliver advancements in health outcomes? These are just some of the questions that will be raised during the conference this year to further our reflection on how innovative policies and practices can drive improvements in health on an equitable basis.
The Eleventh International Conference on Health, Wellness & Society featured plenary sessions by some of the world’s leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
