 Welcome to this course, very interesting course that we are preparing in order to focus on healthcare systems from a bioethical, economic and scientific point of view. This is a very specific moment of history and we think it's very interesting that we treat about pandemics, COVID-19, but we will also treat about reproductive medicine, genetics and how these things can influence in our society in our days. We expect to have students from both scientific expertise, but also from humanities fields. We will be doing workshops, we will be bringing key opinion leaders on both healthcare and the impact of healthcare in societies. We will be doing trips to important places here in Barcelona and the surroundings that have shown the impact of healthcare in the societies throughout the history and we have very brilliant places to do so. We hope to see you here and enjoy this course with us.
