I International Congress: Accessibility to Public Health System
University of Valladolid, October 6 and 7, 2022
Main conference hall, Health Sciences Building
Funded by the Ministry of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda, within the framework of the ACCESSIBLE project: «Comprehensive project to improve universal access to the health system»
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), approved in 2015 by all United Nations Member States as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, constitute a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of people around the world. Among the 17 goals, we highlight Goal 3: To guarantee a healthy life and promote well-being for all people at all ages. Despite the important advances that have been made in recent years in improving people’s health and well-being, inequalities in access to health care still persist, negatively impacting the morbidity and mortality of populations.
At MdM we believe that these inequalities in access to health of vulnerable populations for different reasons or contexts, both in the international and national scenarios, require more efforts to completely eradicate the barriers accessing to health, which are a burden to sustainable development and a challenge in addressing a large number of health problems, both ongoing and emerging. Emerging challenges such as the Covid19 pandemic pose risks for which our health systems must be prepared in this 21st century.
This 1st International Congress encourages the creation of spaces for joint interdisciplinary reflection, among professionals in the public health system, duty bearers in the provision of universal health coverage. We propose a space for disseminating knowledge and research that guides the practice, necessary for the effective achievement of the right to health for all people.
