BI FORUM 2011
Binational Policy Forum 2011 (Archive)
The 11th Annual Binational Health Week Inaugural Event and the Binational Policy Forum on Migration and Global Health took place in San Antonio, Texas on October 3rd and 4th. Over 300 participants came together to discuss the challenges facing migrant communities and to explore unique opportunities to work collaboratively to improve the health and well-being of this population.
The forum presentations were conducted by 69 speakers – 37 from the U.S. and 32 from Mexico – and discussions were based on five main topics that affect the health of the Latino migrants: Chronic Diseases, Infectious Diseases, Women’s Health, Mental Health and Access to Health Care Services.
This two-day event was organized and co-sponsored by the Secretariat of Health and the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, the Institute for Mexicans Abroad, the Health Initiative of the Americas from UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health, the University of Texas at San Antonio, YWCA San Antonio, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador.
