As a result they have some of the worst poverty and health outcomes both nationally and globally. This workshop aims to analyse the global and national contexts of indigenous discrimination in health systems. We will hear from indigenous participants about their personal and their communities’ experience. The workshop will also discuss solutions <span lang=EN-US>towards more equity in health for indigenous peoples and other ethnic minorities. </span>It will provide a space to exchange experiences on ways to promote universal health coverage for indigenous peoples and other ethnic and cultural minorities. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br>Sarah<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Sarah Edwards<b> </b></span><span lang=EN-US>| Head of Policy & Campaigns | Health Poverty Action<b> </b>| <br>Ground Floor, 31-33 Bondway, London, SW8 1SJ </span><span lang=EN-US>|</span><span lang=EN-US> Tel:</span><span lang=EN-US> </span><span lang=EN-US>+44(0)20 7840 3754</span><span lang=EN-US> | </span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><u><span lang=EN-US>s.edwards@healthpovertyaction.org<o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><u><span lang=EN-US>www.healthpovertyaction.org <o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Registered charity number 290535<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><u><span lang=EN-US><o:p><span style='text-decoration:none'> </span></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Each year, hundreds of thousands of women die in pregnancy and childbirth in the developing world.
