Join RHPAP on November 12 at 11:00 a.m. for our next Knowledge Now webinar, featuring speakers from the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights.


This session will explore the Centre’s work related to access to healthcare in northern communities and youth access to healthcare. Through a conversation with our guest speaker Parveen Parmar, Director of Advocacy and Capacity-Building with the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights, we’ll learn more about the challenges and considerations surrounding healthcare access for these populations and access to care.


Whether you work in healthcare, attraction, integration and retention, community services, research, or are simply interested in learning more about healthcare access and equity, this webinar offers an opportunity to hear from those working in this space and deepen your understanding of these important issues.
