With frightening clarity, the Covid-19 pandemic reminded the world of how quickly a local outbreak can morph into a pandemic, with devastating consequences for people’s health and the world’s economies. And with the escalating climate crisis and increasing population pressure, the risk of similar events will only increase.

But pandemics are not the only global health challenge facing our world. Climate change, pollution, lifestyle diseases and inequality are all factors that intersect to create new global health challenges – and intensify existing ones.

That is why this year’s MatchPoints conference in May will focus on “Global Health”. Over the course of two days, leading researchers, health stakeholders, PhD students and NGO representatives will shed light on some of the major health challenges facing our world, and suggest and discuss the solutions to overcome them.

In the article "The current state of global health" you can find more information about the conference. You can also find more information at www.matchpoints.au.dk
