Purpose: The forgotten of the world are people who live on the margins of society. Although many remain vulnerable, they each have intrinsic human value. When we partner with them to improve their health, they deserve our very best. We are all called to be humanitarians, whether serving in a foreign field or in a local health facility. We believe that the value of human life requires us to engage in benevolent service to those who are forgotten. This mission is accomplished when we equip ourselves with evidence-based practices, connect with partners who share our vision, and go serve the forgotten.
The 2021 Humanitarian Health Conference (formerly EMMC) is a forum for those who want to holistically serve the forgotten of this world. This conference will bring together leading experts in the field, offer hands-on learning opportunities (including simulation), provide courses with certification upon completion, offer excellent networking setting, and equip learners to take the next step in partnering with the world’s most marginalized people.
The Humanitarian Health Conference will equip, connect, and encourage you to go serve the forgotten of this world.
Target Audience: The 2021 HHC is focused on educating those involved in humanitarian health around the world, including in the USA. This includes physicians, pharmacists, dentists, advance practice providers, nurses, allied health professionals, public health professionals, healthcare administrators, students, and service-minded volunteers.
Fees：
Healthcare professional: 1,600RMB
Undergraduate students: 700RMB
