Abstract
Since 1995, the Poverty and Health Congress has been organized annually by Gesundheit Berlin-Brandenburg e. V. in cooperation with various partners. It is one of the largest regular public health events in Germany. The congress is a platform for exchange between science, practice, civil society, and politics. In 2022, the motto was "What counts now." Public health and health inequalities were discussed in the light of the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Professional exchange on various topics took place in over 100 digital events with more than 2000 participants, among them around 500 speakers.
