A recent summit focused on educating healthcare professionals about identifying and supporting victims of human trafficking. Studies show that a large percentage of trafficking victims seek healthcare services but are rarely identified. A group has been established to provide awareness training to students in healthcare disciplines. Legislation and directives are in place to ensure training for healthcare professionals on human trafficking, but concerns remain about access to education outside of working hours. It is believed that proper training for healthcare providers could help save lives and address the global issue of human trafficking. Additional educational opportunities on this topic will be offered to healthcare staff.
