Committee on Adolescent & Youth Health

The Committee on Adolescent & Youth Health aims to tackle healthcare disparities affecting young females in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and marginalised areas. 

By focusing on research-driven initiatives, we aim to create tailored annual plans that can adapt to evolving healthcare landscapes. The committee works with member societies to significantly reduce healthcare costs associated with disease treatment by prioritising health promotion and primary prevention strategies for adolescents and young women.
