We are pleased to welcome you to the launch ceremony in Utrecht, the Netherlands, marking the celebration of our Department of Bioethics and Health Humanities at the UMC Utrecht as a member of the Global Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Bioethics. This network was founded by WHO to improve international collaboration on bioethical issues in health care and medical research.
The theme of the launch ceremony is ‘Health equity for everyone, everywhere’, one of the key missions of the WHO. During the launch, members of the WHO CC for Bioethics Utrecht and other WHO CCs for Bioethics will present on their work on health equity. We are grateful that various dignitaries and other WHO CCs for Bioethics are willing to join us today, fostering a multidisciplinary exchange of knowledge and ideas. Dr. Caesar Atuire (University Oxford and Ghana) will deliver the keynote. We are looking forward to a festive and an inspiring day.
