New Web-Based "Commonwealth Forum on Globalization and Health"
--------------------------------------------------------------

Ronald Labonte, Professor, Universities of Saskatchewan and Re-
gina, and member of the Canadian Coalition for Global Health Re-
search, is the inaugural 'host' of a new web-based Commonwealth
Forum on globalization and health sponsored by the Commonwealth
Secretariat. Launched in April, the Commonwealth Forum consists
of a number of articles and excerpts on various facets of glob-
alization and health, available directly from the Forum's web-
site (http://www.ukglobalhealth.org/) or through links to other
URLs. Initial discussion questions are also suggested. Partici-
pants are encouraged to suggest new readings for future post-
ings. New materials will be added on a monthly basis.

To visit and/or participate in this Forum, go to the UK Partner-
ship for Global Health web-site: http://www.ukglobalhealth.org/
and click on the heading "Commonwealth Forum" on the left-hand
list.
