Nivi NewsFlash: Ben's headed to ICFP!
Catch him if you can...
Ben, our Chief Business Officer, has his bags packed and is ready to hit the road (er, air) to Thailand for this year’s ICFP!
The International Conference on Family Planning is the world's largest gathering of family planning and reproductive health professionals.
The 2022 theme, “Family Planning & Universal Health Coverage: Innovate. Collaborate. Accelerate.” underscores the belief that family planning should be a core component of universal health coverage. Not only is access to family planning and reproductive health services a pillar of good personal health, it is also a critical component of a country’s economic health. ICFP 2022 will be a strategic benchmark as the community prepares to recommit to a goal of universal access by 2030.
You can find Dr. Ben Bellows at the following sessions and learn how digital platforms are transforming the way family planning products and services are provisioned; Ben would love to hear your thoughts on this topic - send him an email if you’d like to connect over coffee!
