Invisible Barriers
16.10.24, 18:30 @ Festival Center D'24
Medical racism is a serious issue that is negatively impacting the health and well-being of people in ethnic minority groups, who have historically been ignored and exploited in medical research, as seen in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

This talk will shed light on these deep-rooted problems and call for a more equitable healthcare system.
