What creates global health inequality? And how can we create more equal access to healthcare around the world? What impact will increasing migration flows have on global health?
Unequal access to healthcare is a growing and serious global problem, which has major social and economic costs for both the individual and society. This track will investigate why health inequality emerges, what implications it may have locally and globally, and how we can work to ensure that underserved populations get better access to healthcare services.
