<br>The Geneva Health Forum 2014- Global Health: Interconnected Challenges,<br>
Integrated Solutions - Call for abstracts: Your inputs Count!<br>
<br>
This international forum which aims to link policy and practice in the field<br>
of global health, gathers every two years, in Geneva, approximately one<br>
thousand people from more than one hundred countries, from various sectors<br>
and professional backgrounds to debate and share around the most pressing<br>
contemporary global health issues, giving a proeminent voice to those at the<br>
frontlines of health.<br>
<br>
Next year forum will revolve around the theme of "integration", more here:<br>

<br>
13 thematic tracks taking stock of the various topics covered since 2006<br>
will guide the submission process and allow our diverse audience to<br>
contribute to shaping the programme.Questions have been added to each track<br>
description to provide hints on the various dimensions of integration:<br>

At the GHF we deliberately create mechanisms that allow<br>
practitioners/frontliners to participate and contribute to global health<br>
discussions. We have created an abstract submission path that caters to<br>
practitioners and is in a straightforward Q&A format. This complements the<br>
scientific submission path, which caters mainly to academia. It also allows<br>
for uploading of short audio visuals which sometimes are much more powerful<br>
than a long presentation. You will find all details on submissions on:<br>
<a href="http://ghf.globalhealthforum.net/submission/" target="_blank">http://ghf.globalhealthforum.net/submission/</a><br>
<br>
Please note that a selected number of travel grants will be offered to<br>
submitters from LICs (World Bank list: <a href="http://bit.ly/19h64u7" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/19h64u7</a>) whose abstract<br>
will be accepted for an oral presentation. I would therefore urge you to<br>
diffuse the information to your partners in elegible countries.<br>
<br>
Deadline for submission: July 31st 2013<br>
