Navigating Health Disparities: Addressing Racial, Socioeconomic and Gender Injustice in Germany and the USA

November 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm

This panel discussion is aiming to bridge the gap between health inequity and patient-related injustice in the German and American healthcare system. After establishing a foundation of the topic with historical and current examples of injustices across different medical specialties, we will engage in a critical conversation about how fostering an open and critical dialogue can reduce these racial, social and gender disparities and what is needed to dismantle historical structures to achieve health equity.
