We will discuss key developments and opportunities to advance women’s health care and research, with a focus on addressing disparities; the role of women in health care decision-making; access to preventive care; and representation in the women’s health workforce.

On the afternoon of 24th September, ECHAlliance will host an interactive Round Table discussion examining the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in delivering healthcare globally.

Called “Leveraging AI for Global Healthcare Delivery”, this Round Table will discuss the development and implementation of AI technologies, the importance of equitable access to health data, and strategies to mitigate ethical concerns and biases in AI applications. The session will also highlight the role of international collaboration and standardization in maximizing AI's impact on global health outcomes.
