Team SwitchPoint traved to Rwanda for the Africa Health Agenda International Conference (AHAIC) to present: SwitchPoint Exchange: Health Data, Activism, Art, Communication, and Unusual Collaborations.

During this interactive session attendees heard from artists, activists, and global health professionals who are expanding the definition of health and the players who can help make universal health coverage a reality. Drawing from the format of the annual SwitchPoint conference, attendees heard from a dynamic group of presenters before breaking out into smaller groups for microlabs, each with a different focus. The session concluded with a unified group activity that showcased the importance of data, advocacy, art, and innovation in finding solutions to diverse health challenges.
