From Togo to Chicago - Universal Health Coverage Day Panel

Please join ART WORKS Projects for a panel discussion on December 12, 2018 - Universal Health Coverage Day. Presented in tandem with AWP's current exhibition Women of Togo by photographer Zoe Rain, this discussion will consider the current state of universal health coverage and methods to creating more equity and accessibility when it comes to attaining healthcare in Chicago and around the world.

We will be joined by Jennifer Schechter, Executive Director of Integrate Health who will speak about IH's comprehensive four-step healthcare delivery system in Togo, West Africa. Additional panelists TBA.

This event is free and open to the public.

Through the presentation of Rain's portraits of Togolese women, their children, and the local practitioners providing their care, AWP hopes to create conversation about the importance of universal health coverage and what the United Statesthe country with the worst rate of maternal deaths in the developed worldcan learn from community-based healthcare practices in place around the world.
