PHC Annual Health Ethics Conference 2025

Echoes of the Past: Traversing Inequities in Health Ethics Healthcare systems worldwide are confronted by echoes of past injustices that continue to shape the landscape of health ethics today. This conference seeks to trace the roots of health care and health ethics and understand the impact this history has on equity-owed groups. Our conference aims to not only highlight the historical origins of injustice but also to spotlight contemporary efforts with the goal of rectifying and preventing the impact of inequity and recurrence. Attendees will explore how historical injustices have persisted and changed shape in health ethics over time, and will take part in thoughtful dialogues about how to reimagine what it means to engage in ethical decision-making and approaches through voices that have been historically overlooked and unheard. By focusing on re-imagining and revising ethical frameworks and interventions, the conference will challenge participants to rethink traditional paradigms and develop innovative strategies that address systemic inequities. Through a comprehensive exploration, spanning past, present, and future, this conference will illuminate pathways towards more equitable and ethical health care systems.
