Facing an Outbreak: Issues of Global Health, Ethics and Technology - Ciclo di Webinar

Global health represents an “area of research, studies and interdisciplinary practices, which considers the effects of globalization on health, with the goal of equity in searching for healthcare for all, with a specific attention to issues related to health, its determinants and translational initiatives, and at their interaction with national and local systems” (Missoni, Tediosi 2013).

In the Human Development Program United Nations identified the 17 sustainable development goals: among them health and wellbeing represent the third one, after the reduction of poverty and hunger and before the improvement of education and gender equality.
In the management of the Covid-19 outbreak, some main ethical questions have arisen, related to the balance of care, justice and equity in healthcare; main questions regard moral and anthropological issues, as caring for fragility and vulnerability. New healthcare approaches and practices have been adopted, mediated often by digital technologies: they imply a change of the therapeutic relationship and communication.

The webinar series “Facing an Outbreak: Issues of Global Health, Ethics and Technology” will present and discuss some of these issues, considering their relevance on a global and local level.

Scientific coordinators: Lucia Galvagni (FBK) and Michele Nicoletti (UniTN)

Separate registration for each episode is mandatory. 

Subscribers will receive the link to access the webinar on the day of the episode.

The matter of guaranteeing equity during the outbreak is relevant both on a local and on a global level. For what regards the triage of patients to admit in the ICU and for what regards a fair vaccine distribution – both on a local and on a global level – it seems necessary to reason on which kind of justice and equity we would to apply and which reflections we could do about them.
