*Forum 2009 *

*Innovating for the health of all / Innovando para la salud de todos*

*Havana**, Cuba**, 16-20 November 2009*







Dear colleague,



*Forum 2009: Innovating for the Health of All *is this year’s milestone
event in research and innovation for health. Organized by the Global Forum
for Health Research, it will take place from 16-20 November in Havana, Cuba,
at the invitation of the Ministry of Public Health.



What exactly is “innovation”?* How can decision-makers and practitioners
work together to foster innovation for health and health equity? What can we
learn from innovation policies and initiatives around the world? These
questions will be answered in Forum 2009‘s interwoven discussions of *social
innovation* and *technological innovation*.



This event will bring together some 800 leaders and experts from around the
world to share ideas and forge new partnerships. It will include a *unique
mix of stakeholders* from health and science ministries, research agencies
and institutions, development agencies, foundations, nongovernmental
organizations, civil society, the private sector and media.



As you expand your networks, you will also be able to learn from discussions
on social entrepreneurship for health, public-private product development
for neglected diseases, eHealth, knowledge-translation platforms, national
health innovation systems, donor-country harmonization and coherence, and
innovative financing strategies.



With the theme “innovation,” we are challenged to be innovative in the
programme itself including new session formats that are more interactive,
new ways to network and share information, and new opportunities for
inclusion.



So please join us. Registration is now open on www.globalforumhealth.org. We
very much look forward to seeing you in Cuba.



Yours sincerely,



Professor Stephen Matlin
Executive Director
Global Forum for Health Research
