Presented by Takeda: Decoding Inequity: Building Generational Wellness Beyond the Doctor’s Office
Systems have to be modified, and in some instances dismantled, to address obstacles to health equity.
Setup
Eighty percent of what impacts our health happens outside of the doctor's office: from education and employment opportunities to access to housing, transportation, and quality food. A panel of global experts will explore actionable solutions to address the root causes of disparities and how to build a path forward for collaboration, community co-creation, and a shared vision of a world without health inequities.
