Keynote Presentation Title and Abstract
Our globe, our profession and our influence: paradoxes of advances and global health inequities
Medical advances abound, global health inequities deepen, especially in the global south. In this speech, I will seek to point out that health professionals have a significant impact on how healthy the world becomes. I will seek to show (with examples from across the world) that in spite of the risky sacrifices health professionals make, there are still significant inequities. I will seek to show how the desire to provide healthcare to populations drives and unite health professionals everywhere in the world. I will argue that in spite of these global commitments from health professionals, the paradoxes of complex, wicked, and bizarre health challenges in spite of advances in medicine require a new approach to health care – one that shares healthcare resources – first health professionals and secondly health infrastructure and materials between different countries of the world.
