The conference will bring together leading thinkers on international
trade,
distributive justice and healthcare systems. The goal is to develop a
framework that is essential to ensuring that the forces of
globalization
promote, rather than endanger, the health of individuals throughout the
world.

Day one will examine key interconnections among globalization, income
and
health, as well as related issues of international distributive justice
and
international law.  The second day will focus on the challenges of
intellectual property rights, international trade in health services
and
privatization of the health sector from the standpoint of health
systems and
policymakers.

Speakers include Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia University; Julio Frenk Mora,
Secretary of Health, Mexico; Uwe Reinhardt, Princeton University; David
Dollar, World Bank; Angus Deaton, Princeton University; and Richard
Wilkinson, University of Nottingham.
