NEEDS ADDRESSED STATEMENT
There is considerable interest in global health among the health professional schools, students and practitioners. Much of this is driven by the desire to address disparities in health care in low and middle income countries. All too often, the knowledge base underpinning practice and implementation of programs is limited. By making research in global health topics the principal theme of the meeting we will help to identify where knowledge gaps exist and the opportunities to generate better evidence based policies and programs.
