MatchPoints Conference, Aarhus Universitet

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown how quickly a disease can spread across the globe with devastating consequences for people’s health and the world’s economies. And it’s unlikely to be a one-off. Whilst some infectious diseases are being eradicated, new and unknown diseases are emerging – and many diseases that can be treated in countries with advanced healthcare systems are spreading in parts of the world less able to handle them.
 
The MatchPoints conference ‘Global Health Challenges and Solutions’ will explore topics central to global health today, such as pandemic preparedness, health inequality, climate change and sustainability, chronic disease and mental health – all from a global perspective.
 
Meet leading researchers, PhD students, politicians, health stakeholders and NGO representatives, who, through presentations and debates, will highlight the challenges associated with global health and suggest solutions to overcome them. How can we learn from each other around the world? And how can we create more equal access to healthcare internationally? These are just some of the compelling questions that we will address and discuss with you at MatchPoints 2023.
 
On Saturday 13 May, Aarhus School of Architecture will host Global Health lectures and discussions with TV-journalist Jacob Rosenkrands guiding the audience through a day called "Din, min og verdens sundhed". The event is organized by Aarhus University, Aarhus People’s University and Aarhus Municipality.

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: GLOBAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS
Per Kirkeby Auditorium

This panel will discuss how we will move on from Global Health challenges to solutions. An important aspect of that, is to clarify how Global Health is governed and by whom, and to clarify main funding mechanisms. Specifically, how far are we from ensuring a global sufficient Health System Response for current Global Health challenges and future epidemics? Who decides what is prioritized within Global Health? Which areas should have higher priority? What can Denmark do to increase global health? Should Denmark have an ambassador for global health?

THE AARHUS DECLARATION ON GLOBAL HEALTH AND CONCLUDING REMARKS
Per Kirkeby Auditorium

At the conference, we will present The Aarhus Declaration on Global Health, a poignant reminder to researchers and decision-makers of what needs to be accomplished to address the Global Health challenges and ensure equal access to healthcare for all. During the conference, a draft of the declaration will be present for participants to discuss and provide feedback on. During this session, the draft and comments will be discussed. A final version of the declaration will be made available online and sent to all participants later in May.
