PMAC: UHC Forum 2020 - Livestreaming the event should be a no-brainer


This year’s Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC) in Bangkok (28 Jan-2 Feb) focuses on accelerating progress towards UHC.  As always, the conference programme looks  rather appealing, even if it's hard to beat last year's theme on the political economy of NCDs.

There’s one downside though: I still can’t find much information on (possible) livestreaming on the website. So here’s a gentle request to the organizers: do make sure that at least for the plenary sessions appropriate measures are taken so that people from around the globe can also watch the great speeches and presentations in the Thai capital.

Also from a planetary health point of view, this should really be standard practice nowadays, in the year 2020.

It’s still a few weeks from now. Let’s just do this.
