Healthcare Preparedness in the Nordic Region: How Prepared Are We?

Healthcare preparedness has received a lot of attention in recent years — and for good reason. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have demonstrated how vulnerable our societies can be without a comprehensive and inclusive preparedness system. The Nordic countries generally have strong welfare systems, well-functioning healthcare services, and a high level of trust between authorities and population. There is also no shortage of preparedness strategies — but how well prepared are we in the Nordic region, really, in case of an unforeseen crisis?

And, is there anything we can learn from Ukraine when it comes to managing large-scale crises — especially in terms of protecting vulnerable groups in society, such as people living with HIV and other chronic diagnosis?

HivNorway, Positiiviset/HivFinland, HivSweden, and the Ukrainian Alliance for Public Health invite you to a panel discussion where these questions will be discussed.

The project and the event is supported by The Nordic Council of Ministers.

You can live-stream the event on Wednesday, 12 November at 3 PM (EET) via this link: https://vimeo.com/event/5434259
