FIFDH: Health: A Right or a Privilege?

A crucial forum questioning whether healthcare is a right or a privilege, preceded by a screening of Chronically Ignored. Journalists, activists and health experts examine the structural inequalities of Western healthcare systems, from the invisibilisation of chronic and post-infectious illnesses to gender and social bias, and ask how political choices shape access to care.

The discussion is interpreted in English and French (with French surtitles); the film is in German and English, with French and English subtitles.
