The in-person dialogue with progressive alliances HPA, Kampala Initiative, UKHACC, MedAct, GCI & Medico Int explored how colonial structures persist across Global North & South urging a shift from charity to solidarity, rethinking aid, and investing in systems grounded in justice & mutual benefit.

Session 2: Panellists Dr Judith Bueno de Mesquita, Prof Michael Knipper & Dr Jo Vaerey examined how global health is being destabilized by aid cuts and power imbalances. Reflections on colonial roots of aid sparked calls to reimagine global health governance through equity, inclusion, and dialogue.
