Medical Forum Department
We aim to increase awareness and inform healthcare workers about new healthcare developments. Our topics range from social determinants of health to newly developed treatment options and diagnostic applications. We invite speakers who are well-known in their respective fields and discuss and find solutions to common healthcare problems. Overall we aim for a better society of health. To date, we have successfully held talks in social determinants of health to shed light on the lack of healthcare service in underserved populations and discussed potential ways. With these talks, we informed our audience about the importance of awareness of well-being and regular doctor visits.
