Towards global health: Refugees and victims of torture in Europe Today – European Network Meeting 2017

From November 12th to 14th  this year’s conference of the European Network will be held in Bucharest/ Romania.

In line with former European Network meetings, we will follow the usual format of discussions between health professionals from various disciplines in plenary debates, facilitated workshop discussions and moderated panels (partly open to the public). This year’s conference aims to examine key challenges in Europe to ensure sustainability of health and social care services as part of rehabilitation to refugees and survivors of torture in times of political insecurity and crisis. Finding ways to frame health consequences of man-made disasters as a public health concern will be discussed as well as opportunities, challenges and risks to be identified by professionals. (more information on the programme will follow shorty).
