3rd Edition of the Public Health and Midwifery World Conference 2027
Scientific Sessions - PHMWC 2027
Health Equity and Social Determinants
Health is shaped far more by where people are born, live, learn and work than by health care alone. Income, education, gender, disability, ethnicity and geography all influence who stays healthy and who gets care, and these inequities have widened in many places in recent years.
This session, closely linked to the conference theme of Health Without Borders, explores the causes of health inequities and practical ways to reduce them. It brings together public health professionals, researchers, clinicians, social scientists and policymakers.
Key topics include social determinants of health, gender and health, health of people with disabilities, migrants, refugees and other marginalized groups, rural and urban health gaps, poverty and access to care, universal health coverage and financial protection, inclusive service design, measuring inequality, intersectoral action on housing, education and employment, and community engagement and empowerment.
We welcome quantitative and qualitative research, policy analyses and program evaluations. Participants will gain tools and evidence to make equity central to health programs and policy.
