Hey everyone!

We are very much looking forward to our upcoming panel on Global Health in Conflict Settings at the Global Health Talk 2024!
This session is a unique opportunity for us to explore the critical challenges of delivering healthcare in conflict settings, where millions of people are at risk and resources are shrinking. We’ll dive into innovative solutions for building resilient health systems, integrating humanitarian response with long-term health system strengthening.
