This gathering aims to address the growing influence of the movement, which advocates for a return to traditional health practices and skepticism towards modern medical advancements.

Participants in the meeting include epidemiologists, public health officials, and community health advocates who are concerned about the potential implications of the movement on public health policies and practices. They aim to share insights and data that highlight the importance of evidence-based health strategies, particularly in areas such as vaccination, nutrition, and mental health.

By fostering collaboration among health professionals, the meeting hopes to reinforce the value of scientific research and promote a more informed approach to health and wellness in communities across the nation.
