About the Panel Discussion
This panel discussion aims to shed light on critical global health issues specifically affecting individuals of African Descent. Panelists will address why it's essential to spotlight these concerns within the broader context of global health.
The discourse will delve into examples showcasing variances observed in health data among People of African Descent, emphasizing the unique challenges and disparities they face. Our focus extends to examining how these variances manifest in population health data across Canada, North America, and globally.
Furthermore, the panel will assess the adequacy of current data capture methods and propose strategies to address any gaps. By facilitating this discussion, we seek to deepen understanding of health disparities and provide guidance for global health initiatives
