Abstract
In recent years, in the wake of a series of health and environmental crises and following advances in the development of medical technology, questions regarding solidarity have become relevant to a growing number of areas in the fields of medicine, bioethics and public health. This symposium discusses the different aspects of solidarity as a social determinant of health. By discussing original papers on biobanks, priority setting, organ donations, care, Covid-19, human milk banks and more, the attendees of this workshop will learn about the key role solidarity plays in healthcare today.
