Racism and Health in Latin America

The Center for Health Equity in Latin America (CHELA) is hosting its first biennial meeting on Racism and Health in Latin America in October 2024 at Tulane University’s Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, with leaders from Latin American public health schools and programs. The objective of this event is to promote teaching and research aimed at preventing racism in the provision of health care in the region from the perspective of Latin American social medicine.

Racism and Health in Latin America

The goal of the meeting is to discuss teaching and research to prevent racism in healthcare facilities in the region from a Latin American social medicine perspective. This region is known for its vast ethnic diversity and significant inequities in health outcomes that frequently correlate with social and ethnic backgrounds. Racist practices in healthcare facilities are widespread, resulting in unsafe and disrespectful healthcare delivery or even complete neglect.
