We will focus on the fact th at poverty causes ill health but also that ill health causes poverty. We f urther venture into the structural drivers of health (including social det erminants of health and access barriers) \nSeveral speakers will address t his important topic from different perspectives: youth care\, elderly care \, mental health care. Careful consideration of the relationship of povert y and healthcare is also on the agenda of important advisory and oversight (governmental) institutes like the Inspectorate of Health of Aruba and th e Advisory Council of Curaçao\, and both institutes will share their view. Finally\, we will hear more of the ideas\, views\, and visions of the you nger generation of skilled professionals active on the island on this crit ical topic. We will finalize with a critical assessment panel providing va luable take-home messages. \nSocietal introspection demands that we stop v iewing health disparities as unfortunate side effects of a market economy\ , and instead recognize them as preventable injustices that require immedi ate\, structural reform.\nLEARNING GOALS\n\nRealizing the importance of (e ffectively) addressing poverty to ensure a just and effective health syste m.\nTo accept that by solving the poverty issue we can guarantee a much be tter (public) health environment for our community and citizens.\nThe real ity of poverty in different population groups and the (local) challenges o bserved.\nHow to better advocate for solving the ever growing poverty issu e (in healthcare).\nUnderstanding the views on poverty of the future gener ations. \n\n TARGET AUDIENCE\n\nHealth professionals\nOther professionals \nPolicy makers\nGeneral public\n\n         Weerleggen van Grenzen 2026\n  [toggle open='true' title='Friday\, November 13th\, 2026 - Session 1'] \n \n\n\nFrom - To\nSubject\nSpeaker\n\n\n\n\n \nPoverty: a crucial health de terminant\nChairman: Prof. Dr. A.
