Join us for an evening with Dr. Joia Mukherjee on what delivering healthcare as a human right looks like on the ground.

What does it mean to treat health as a human right and not a privilege? Join us for a thought-provoking talk that bridges the worlds of medicine, public health, and social justice, exploring why the health of the world's most vulnerable populations is inseparable from the fight for equity. This talk invites us to rethink global health as social justice and to recognize our shared humanity across borders.
