Thematik

The homeless, the gypsy, the refugee and the sex-worker are knocking on heaven's door... All middle-aged...Sounds like the beginning of a joke, but unfortunately this is NOT a joke! These vulnerable populations experience the lowest life expectancy at birth and the worst health status during their lifespan in comparison to majority populations. This course deals with the specific health concerns and needs of these four segregated populations, and discusses some good practices; and initiatives aiming to improve their health and access to healthcare.
The courses will be held in blocks, and as each occasion will cover different vulnerable populations, please, make sure your availability for each dates before you apply!
All open-minded, socially sensitive and tolerant students are welcomed to this course and everybody who is interested in reducing inequalities in health and healthcare.
