European Congress on Tropical Medicine and International Health (ECTMIH)

ECTMIH-2023 will take place from 20-23 November in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Its aim is to accelerate the connections between tropical medicine, global health, and planetary health. Health equity and universal health coverage are emphasized.

The Make Way program will lead a session on intersectionality. We will start with the Inclusive Health Game. This game helps participants of the session to understand some of the barriers that people with intersecting identity characteristics face when they make use of health care services – and to create short term and long-term solutions so that participants can better advocate for health equity. Barriers range from how to enter the health centre, to how to access information that is not provided that is not geared towards people with certain characteristics (e.g., disability, gender identity) and counter stigmatizing beliefs about their (sexual and reproductive) health needs.

We will provide participants with two tools that have been applied in our programme. Together we will explore the different routes to advocate for intersectional SRHR programmes and policies that leave no one behind.
