Frontiers Health has consistently played a pivotal role in championing crucial concepts such as health equity, global health, and one health throughout its various conference editions.
As a foundational pillar in our design and implementation process, we want to ensure that health equity serves as a guiding principle that directs our choices and initiatives when conceptualizing our events.
Health equity refers to the absence of disparities in health outcomes and access to healthcare services among different population groups. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring that everyone can attain their highest level of health. Addressing health equity involves recognizing and rectifying social, economic, and environmental determinants that contribute to health disparities.
On the other hand, One Health is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human health, animal health, and the environment. It emphasizes the idea that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are interdependent and that addressing health challenges requires a unified approach across these sectors.
It is significant for us to see the growing attention of our global audience on such topics, culminating in the 2023 edition with significant engagement in the proceedings from the Lead of Health Equity from the World Economic Forum thanks to the efforts of our Steering Committee Member Tony Estrella, who has a deep focus in this crucial area of Health Transformation
In this article, you’ll navigate through all the sessions and perspectives shared across our conferences (from the most recent ones back to 2016) with our global ecosystem of health innovators, aiming to inspire them to further commit and operate according to these principles.
