Who sets the global health agenda ?

Who makes decisions about our health ?

Who is left aside and why ?

Is this agenda reducing poverty, enhancing equity, or improving health ?

Which values, interests, and evidence influence the process ?

What are the options for making this process more open, more inclusive, and more participatory ? 



The Canadian Conference on International Health, following the path set in the previous two years, further examines the global stage and the conflicting forces that shape the politics of health and impact our own health. 



The Conference objective is to provide an open and stimulating forum for practitioners, researchers, educators, policy makers, and community advocates to:



·               analyze controversial issues related to global health policy  from a variety of perspectives;

·               share knowledge and experiences;

·               learn about success stories, effective strategies, and new opportunities to influence the global health agenda through research, advocacy, and action.
