style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Undoubtedly, human resources
represent the most critical and precious assets in the struggle to achieve
global health. In 2006, discussions around human resources for health will
dominate the international health stage as the World Health Organization
dedicates both World Health Day and its annual report to the men and women who
make health care happen and assure the existence and quality of the services
they deliver. This year, the Canadian Conference on International Health will
offer participants the opportunity to explore the field of human resources,
across all aspects of the health system, and encourage a broad, but critical,
approach to the theme stressing, as always, the links between research, advocacy
and action.</SPAN></P>
