Call for abstracts

Forum 11
Beijing, 29 October - 2 November 2007
Equitable access: research challenges for health in developing countries

The annual Forum brings together decision-makers, funders and leaders in research and development to focus on reducing the massive underinvestment in health research for the needs of developing countries. Equitable access, the overarching theme of Forum 11, will examine several questions in health research. How can research improve understanding of and equitable access to basic preconditions for health? What innovations in products, policies and processes can improve equity of access? What are the needs for research resources (human, institutional, financial, informational)? How can research facilitate good governance? What role does communications play?

Abstracts are now being accepted until 31 January.
