days remaining to the target dates for achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs), it is timely to ask: what is the world we want for
health in the post-2015 era?<br>
This is the question posed by a global consultation that we have had the
privilege to coordinate since September, 2012.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><br>
There is no shortage of people with an answer. More than 150 000 people from
all regions visited the consultation website, and more than 100 thoughtful
reports were submitted by a wide range of organisations and authors. 14
face-to-face consultations attracted more than 1600 people in places as far-ranging
as <u></u>La Paz<u></u>, <u></u>Dar es Salaam<u></u>,
<u></u>Abuja<u></u>, <u></u>Amsterdam<u></u>,
<u></u>New York<u></u>, <u></u>Beijing<u></u>,
and <u></u><u></u>Bangkok<u></u><u></u>.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">On April, 19, 2013, we launched the
final report of the consultation, which aims to do justice to this outpouring
of intellectual and emotional energy. <br>
The report follows a stakeholder meeting to review the first draft, open review
of the second draft via the website, and a 2 day meeting in Gaborone, Botswana,
which convened 50 participants (representatives from each of the constituencies
that contributed to the consultation, including UN Member States, civil
society, the private sector, academics, and heads of global health
organisations) to discuss the penultimate draft. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"><u></u> <u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">The report will be submitted to the
UN High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda and
to the UN Secretary-General to help inform the deliberations on the post-2015
agenda at the UN General Assembly in September, 2013. <br>
We also hope that the report will find a wide use and readership, continuing to
stimulate debate about how to best place health in the post-2015
agenda—which is likely to continue well into 2015…..”<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
