Sixty-fifth World Health Assembly Side Event

The Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health identified five action areas for health to engage in to address the social determinants of health. One of these action areas focused on the reorientation of health care. The United Kingdom government, in partnership with the World Medical Association (WMA) and the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA), held a side-event that explored concrete mechanisms related to the role of health care providers.
