<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><BR>Dear colleagues </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Today the Global Forum and INASP have set up a new on-line debating channel
in association with <I>RealHealthNews</I>, HR4D-net, for you and others to
debate the issues close to our hearts. I've kicked off by suggesting we start
talking about the Brazil/Kenya proposal for a "global Framework" for health
research, to be debated at the WHA in Geneva next week. I'll be there and will
post reports.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Do join up and get your views known!</DIV>

the debate, and maybe even influencing events. Already the BMJ has asked us
for an interview in Geneva.</DIV>
