Programme from Medellin Conference on Social Justice, Human Rights and Health Equity 27 -29 November 2013


I spoke at a conference last week in Medellin, Colombia where I learned a lot about the intellectual and political perspectives on health justice.  I am putting up the programme here so that more people can become aware of the distinguished researchers and topics of concern in the region.  It should also be noted that this was a conference organized by the Faculty of Public Health, which has a strong commitment to social justice.

The original progamme and information about the conference can be found here.
