General

2024 marks a special year for our organization as we celebrate 15 years of AIGHD. This year is also dedicated to the memory of AIGHD’s founder Joep Lange, who tragically died ten years ago and yet, still continues to inspire us with his passion for evidence-based activism.

In an era marked by unprecedented challenges and opportunities in global health, the concurrent theme of the 2024 Joep Lange Chair and Fellow Symposium and Masterclass, “Towards a Just Future in Global Health”, highlights our commitment to equity, inclusivity, and sustainability in healthcare across the globe. This year we seek to challenge and reflect on the barriers that prevent equitable access to health across various affective variables like economic status, society, and policy.

Our goal for the 2024 edition of the symposium and masterclass is to bring together students, educators, practitioners, and researchers who are passionate about how holistic science can reshape our health systems, transforming them into more equitable and accessible spaces.

The 2024 Symposium will invite renowned speakers to share their approaches to justice in the field of Global Health. How can we reduce barriers that prevent equitable access to health? What role do scientists play in leading policy change towards more equitable access to health? How do we enable participatory methods to further inform evidence-based health care? What does justice in global health look like for those who are often left behind?
