GENEVA FORUM - TOWARDS GLOBAL ACCESS TO HEALTH - 30 AUGUST TO 1 SEPTEMBER 
2006

In our globalized world demand for access to health and care is increasing. 
While the  means to improve health are growing, access nonetheless remains 
very limited in many parts of the world. Insuring universal access to 
healthcare services and preventive measures are challenges that the 
international community must address. How can health systems respond to the 
growing need for action?

The GENEVA UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS and the FACULTY of MEDICINE of the 
UNIVERSITY of GENEVA are jointly organizing an international Forum "TOWARDS 
GLOBAL ACCESS TO HEALTH" in partnership with major national and 
international organizations.

This Geneva Forum, under the premises of equity, training and partnership, 
will provide a unique opportunity for all participants to present and 
explore innovative partnerships and programmes facilitating access to 
health. Attendees will not only hear state of the art reviews and debates

based in Geneva .

Bring your expertise and field experience to contribute to and challenge 
current knowledge!
