This symposium is held with the support of, and in partnership with, three French medical associations (CMG - Collège de la médecine générale, SFSP - Société française de santé publique, SFFEM - Société française et francophone d'éthique médicale) and activitists in community organisations in LGBT health issues (Acceptess-T, Afrique Arc-en-Ciel, AIDES, l’Association de médecine gay friendly, le Centre LGBT de Paris Ile-de-France, le COREVIH Ile-de-France Sud, l’Inter-LGBT, le Mouvement d’affirmation des jeunes lesbiennes, gais, bi et trans, OUTrans, PsyGay, Shams France).
This international symposium on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual health issues is to be held in Paris, on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th March, 2017 at the French Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.
Its aim is to highlight the most recent research on LGBT health, innovative health-promoting interventions and access to care and identify what still remains to be done, in the realm of health education, prevention, sexual health and care so people can live a full life as fully-fledged citizens.
