National Health Conferences
The National Health Conferences are organized through the initiative of the Forum for Civil Society in Health ? which brings together various stakeholders and citizens interested in the field and in themes such as the exercise of the right to health from a perspective of development and social justice ? towards furthering the discussion of priorities and proposing public policies in dialogue with the state sector and the private sector. They function as a multilevel policy-making platform, with Regional Forums / Conferences whose contributions are then discussed at the national meeting, collectively formulating Regional Agendas and a National Health Agenda. They also issue Political Declarations, whether taking a position or publishing statements regarding the situation of the provision of health services and current social conflicts.
