«Health for All» by 2030 On the Right Track, or on the Verge of Failing?

Nov 07, 2018 | Pullman Hotel, Basel

MMS Symposium 2018

Health is a fundamental human right. However, today inequality, poverty, exploitation, violence and injustice still prevent one billion people from accessing healthcare. To achieve the goal of ”Health for All”, inequalities must be eliminated, resources better distributed by ensuring no-one is left behind, and political and economic interests must be geared towards achieving the goal. In the 40th anniversary year of the Alma-Ata Declaration, realising the vision of Alma-Ata is clearly more urgent than ever.

We have 12 years left to achieve the Agenda 2030 goals. The purpose of the symposium is to discuss:

- what is required to achieve “health for all by the year 2030”;

- the major obstacles and push factors; what our member organisations, and

- civil society organisations in general, require to realise “health for all by 2030”.

The Network Medicus Mundi Switzerland will use the occasion as an opportunity to publish and discuss a new manifesto which will be a core document in its understanding of the way forward to achieving “Health for All”. (Photo by bill wegener at Unsplash (https://unsplash.com/@wegenerb)
