From May 14-16th, we participated in an important international seminar entitled, “Global Social Protection Scheme: Moving from Charity to Solidarity,” held in Berlin, Germany. This seminar, jointly organized by Medico International and the Hélène de Beir Foundation, was an opportunity to debate and share with experts, academics and members of civil society that work in the field of social protection and other areas related to our public policy For Universal Health Insurance and our campaign “Thinking about you.”
For Salud por Derecho, this was an especially relevant event as it enabled us to strengthen coordination with other organizations to jointly work towards a global protection paradigm in health as this forms part of achieving universal health coverage. Vanessa López, director of Salud por Derecho, offered a presentation regarding the fundamental question of how such a paradigm could be financed.
