Global Health Forums

Creating global markets for neglected drugs and vaccines…The impact of intellectual property rights on research and development…Polio immunization and eradication… Investing in health for economic growth and poverty reduction…These are topics that have consistently made the Global Health Forums a hallmark of the Institute's activities.

For each Global Health Forum, IGH invites international leaders from the public and private sectors to exchange ideas and discuss strategies over the course of a weekend.IGH provides a structured format that encourages participants to create an action plan with specific follow-up steps. Following the forum, IGH publishes a consensus statement that participants can use to educate and motivate other influential leaders. Through these highly interactive meetings, IGH strives to build a worldwide network of advocates with a mutual commitment to improving human health in their respective communities.
