Announcement of WKC Forum 2023

The inochi WAKAZO Project will co-host a student forum with the WHO Centre for Health Development that will provide an opportunity to learn and discuss various global health issues.

This forum will feature keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and panel discussions based on the theme of Universal Health Coverage Day 2022, “Build the world we want: A healthy future for all.”

Global health experts are scheduled to give keynote speeches and panel discussions. In the breakout sessions (viewer participation sessions), participants will deepen their discussions on health issues from 10 themes.

In preparation for the event, university student management members took the lead, and while receiving guidance from advisors, they spent about six months focusing on global health issues. Why not think about our health and how we can create a healthy future together?
