As part of the “Women’s March” celebrations, the Embassy of Angola in the United States held a seminar on “Health Diplomacy and Integrative Medicine.”
As part of the “Women’s March” commemorations, a month that marks Angolan Women’s Day (March 2) and International Women’s Day (March 8), the Embassy of the Republic of Angola in the United States of America, in partnership with the organisation Natula Connet, held a seminar on Friday, March 21, under the theme “Health Diplomacy and Integrative Medicine.”
The event took place at the Embassy of Angola in Washington, D.C., and brought together more than 50 women from different social backgrounds and nationalities, including physicians, diplomats, members of the Angolan community residing in the Washington, D.C., area, as well as American women.
Opening the seminar, Ambassador Agostinho Van-Dúnem highlighted the growing importance of health diplomacy within the context of international cooperation.
“Health diplomacy has become an essential pillar of cooperation among States, as we recognise that no country can address global public health challenges alone. The lessons learned from recent pandemics underscore the urgent need to strengthen partnerships, promote the exchange of scientific knowledge, and ensure equitable access to medical treatments and technologies,” the Ambassador stated.
Natula Connet is an organisation dedicated to promoting women’s health and well-being, with a focus on integrative medicine practices and holistic approaches to healthcare.
Through this initiative, the Embassy of Angola in the United States reaffirms its commitment to promoting issues of importance to public health and recognising the vital role of women in society.
